With what now appears to be true, the right SRB seems to be a fault.  I
seem to remember the on one of the original flights of the columbia, NASA
noted that at least one of the SRBs came very close to burning through the
outer skin.  If this is true, where there ever any corrective measures
taken at the time?

P.S.	Also, in seeing part of the original NASA select replay again, it
looks like the plum of fire on the right SRB is visible after the blow up.
Can someone verify this?
