Just to clarify, this was only done to deliberately _move_ the
problem, not to fix it.  Once we did that, we were able to observe
other symptoms and some of the secondary (or perhaps tertiary) effects
and verify its severity.  I never got back to Ulf's system after this
very preliminary bit of discovery work to try and actually decipher
the clues obtained.  Just too busy. :(
