Logic circuits (poorly designed) ARE subject to heat.  The propogation
delays get worse and the logic voltage levels degrade.  This can put
poorly designed circuits over the edge.

Since PC-DITTO-II supposedly had timing problems initially, perhaps this
is just a borderline symptom.  Then again, it could be something completely
different.
