    I think that Scott has sort of hit the nail on the head.  But heck if
I can get the creature to show up at my beckoning.  I wonder if it takes
a certain combination of keys that occur upon fatfingering.  That would
explain why it is so difficult to get the critter to show up.
    Furthermore, I still feel that it is on the keyboard side and not the
motherboard side.  Seems the fact that it has happened also with Spectre
would be a significant clue.
