Thanks.  I ran with -Q and then manually loaded parts of my init.el.   It 
turned out to be in the custom-set-face section.  Specifically, the default 
font included setting a box around it:

:box (:line-width 1 :color "black")

I did this because I had put boxes around other font faces since I liked how it 
looked in various modes and I had to put the same size box around default face 
or text didn't line up anymore.   If I comment out that one line of my init.el, 
everything is fine.  So there's some odd interaction between linum and narrow 
if there's a box around default!
