Yes, I've been using table and GEN01 instead, but diskin _seems_ simpler for
manipulating playback pitch then say sndwarp. I do understand that diskin
was designed for files that wouldn't ordinarilly fit within GEN01, but the
variable speed stuff is right there, so I figured I'd try it with small
files. (I've been using the most current version of the MillsPPC app BTW.)

diskin worked fine for me
i went back and looked at your message
.2 seconds! well thats shorter than diskins read buffer
so i could see how things might get messed up
(not saying its not a bug!!)
but you should use a table for such short sounds
if not always since you are on a PC 
which can read from file as virtual memory (right??)
although you have 2 use 2 tables 4 stereo
diskin was always intended to be used for large files
that couldnt fit into RAM.
