 Sorry, let me clarify that - I move the C++ class symbols that are
 currently in the static block to the global block.  The above class
 symbols should be in the blocks that are local to the functions in
 question - I can't remember offhand if we're putting them in the
 correct place currently, but, if so, I shouldn't have changed that.
