Yeah!  That's it.

Sometime during when I'd been fiddling around trying to set my
trailblazer up so that it would work with the phone manager, a
/dev/trailblaze9600 file was made.  And removing that let wmgr
work perfectly.

Lenny sent me a suggestion that my /dev/{window,syscon,systty,w[1-12]}
device files might have been wrong.  The only wrongness I saw there was
that syscon was linked to w2 instead of to window as the list of
files he sent me implied.  But changing that didn't change anything.
