Thanks for pointing that out, Tom -- I shouldn't have overlooked it.   
This issue came up during a demonstration I was giving on how to do  
simulations in Stata; I was typing merrily along in response to a  
question and came upon this issue, and then realized I didn't have an  
explanation for the observed behavior.  At the time it bothered me  
more that I couldn't explain the behavior, but you're right, using a  
standard string option is adequate for getting the job done.
