The 1.5ZA snapshot you used was in a subdirectory of the alpha
snapshots directory called "pending.untested" (You never mentioned
that).

i.e. you should have assumed that it was even less usable than an
average snapshot.

For not doing so, and for inflicting the untested snapshot on a
customer, when there were older snapshots, you are a disgrace.
