I goofed.  I shouldn't have mentioned this since my testing was 
incomplete.

If I click once on a button during the execution of of a handler, 
only the mouseDown is executed, the mouseUp is not.

But...

If I click several times, then several events become messages.  
Some are lost.  Both mouseDown and mouseUp appear in those.

And after trying the single click test again, I find that sometimes 
the mouseUp handler is called.

So... strike all I said about only one event after a long execution 
of a handler.

(I don't know what to think of missing events.)
