At school (too many years ago) we had a PDP-10 system that exhibited an
addressing problem if and only if the humidity of the room dropped below
a certain threshold.  The fancy computer room style air conditioner-
humidifier-dehumidifier wasn't good enough to control the room's humidity.

The standard fix for the problem was to get out the mops and buckets and
mop the machine room floor with plain water.  We had the cleanest floors !!!
