Try it to humor me?  Have anything else to try that you are more confident
*will* work *and* explain the behaviour?  Ie: shipping it uncompressed
won't tell you why it's failing, and only avoids the iss ue for right
now until something else that tickles the hardware problem ends up in the
tree... better to fix it while you have a repeatable instance to watch
to know when it goes away.
