I seem to recall having something like this happening with *one* 
program earlier this year. I seem to recall that it went away
when I made some unrelated change to the program. One possibility
is that the *huge* environment you wind up with when you are 
logged into the server could be causing problems. 

More likely it's a BIOS problem on the machines that only shows up
under those circumstances. 

I have found that TPC program /Fxxxx:yyyy will find errors that the
IDE says cannot be located. (error address not found)
