Dealing with killing these things is a daily effort for me, and a real pain
in the neck. I have no idea why it behaves this way. At the moment I have
enough to do without IBM putting it on my back to demonstrate how to reproduce
it. (Which is why I haven't called it in.) As often as it happens here, I find
it hard to believe someone at IBM hasn't noticed it.
