Thanks to those who replied to my question.  I had tried just growing the
stuff overnight and forgetting about contributions from E.coli chromosomal
DNA, and lo-and-behold four different templates gave me great sequence!

(So much for listening to your advisor :-{ .  I guess this is his way
of training me to think independently.)

Thanks again.
