Okay, that worked!
Strange that when I used "php_value register_globals Off", phpinfo.php
showed that the Local Value for register_globals did go "Off" so it
appeared successful.

It does, and I use htaccess to override various values such as "php_value
upload_max_filesize" to increase attachment size.

So, should I recommend that my web host turn register_globals off for the
entire server? I'm all right now, as adding your line to my htaccess file
has solved the issue for my SM install, but should I make my web host
aware of this issue?

Sounds prudent. :)

Thanks Tomas!
