Alas, this doesn't support Ric's comment either, since this was the result of correctly-functioning software attempting to carry out impossible orders. Once again, putting more judgement in the software might have led to the discovery of the problem before it became critical. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
