A little mea culpa. The above sequence fails to identify the
segmentation error in this model. I'm so used to using Multinec to
interface to EZNEC that I forgot that when using EZNEC directly this
error isn't trapped.

EZNEC's automatic segmentation check doesn't run when changing wire
lengths. It will allow the change that I made that results in too few
segments in the new length. The minimum number should be 13, with
more the merrier. With this simple structure, however, the error is
small and the other results are generally acceptable.
