I find this somewhat surprising and intriguing. I've never found the need to create a local subroutine within a subprocedure.

I have. Not nearly as often as Duane has, but it can actually be very useful at times. I'm not at liberty to share any samples of mine, but I will say that they're in programs that implement the classic Recursive Descent Parser algorithm, with a scanner written in C feeding them tokens, and the local subroutines were for things that might be done in more than one place within the subprocedure.
