Ahh... That makes more sense. =8^) |

That the issue seems to be a timing/race condition of some sort is |
| 12 |
interesting, but would explain why the issue seems so unusual. No |
| 13 |
/wonder/ you can't find much else on what seemed like it should be a |
| 14 |
perfectly reproducible bug! Your system just falls in the wrong timing |
| 15 |
slot, it would seem. =8^( I'm still wondering what the mechanism is, but |
| 16 |
this is a strange one, all right. You should feel privileged that the |
| 17 |
fates favored you with something so unusual. =8^) (Yeah, I know, about |
| 18 |
like those folks with the one in a million birth defect... At least the |
| 19 |
computer isn't a part of your body you have to live with...) |
