Figured it out.  I've corrected it, but it brings up a related question.

We were checking for the existence of an image with an "if" statement:

   if ($image[$i] != 'none') {

However, unless the word "none" is a valid expression to check for a null
value, that was the culprit.  I replaced the above line with:

   if ($image[$i] != '') {

... and now it works like a charm.  My question is this:  How could it have
worked before at all?  "none" is not a valid expression to check for a null
value is it?  I spent 8 hours trying to track this down thinking it was
possibly a server issue with the getimagesize function, went to bed, got up
at 4 a.m. and had it fixed in about 15 minutes.

(Jeff, to answer your question, no I did not remove the file name, it was
blank as it should have been.  That fact was what led me to know that the if
statement was somehow the culprit).
