I've been sitting on this info (rumor???   lie????) for over two weeks now,
waiting to see if someone would bring it up.  No one has, so I decided to
test the waters.   I don't know any more than what I originally stated.
IMHO, a bug in a processor is somewhat disconcerting, but if everyone involved
was aware of what not to do to set it off, when doing low level stuff, then
it might not be so bad.

Can anyone give us more info?  Am I the only one who has heard this?
Were my allergy pills reacting with the pizza I had the night before? ;-)
