Sorry.  I know that it's better to post actual failing code is much better
than snippets for exactly this reason.  However, there is so much code that
I believe to be superfluous to this problem that I really wanted to make the
post simpler.  To answer your question, the loop that I posted occurred in
the main() loop.  That is, calling 'break' inside this loop resulted in a
call to the function that 'break' was called in (which happens to be
main()).

After reading your suggestion, I'm wondering why I caught the exception in
the loop as opposed to outside of the loop.  I changed the implementation as
you suggested and my program is now working correctly.  Of course, something
tells me that I just covered up a bug as opposed to removing it.
