Thanks for running it.

But Dang.  I was sure netbsd.EASTERN-1.4S would work.  Another
beautiful theory down the drain.  Oh, well, that's what theories are
for.  Shootin' down.

So, without the gory details, it appears that the problem is either
speed or CPU related, or both, and the software change causing (or
merely aggravating?) it happened in the first couple of weeks of
February 2000.

Works for me.  But let's be sure that there are not similar bugs
lurking in the code, once we find this one.  Meanwhile, I think I'll
have a look at the changes in these two weeks.
