ODD STORY... We used to buy servers custom built for us. One of my
requirements was it had to be put on the net for me to check remotely.
SOMEHOW I got the idea to compile perl to put the machine through its
paces. (Don't remember how/why/etc). Once machine I was doing it on
and all of a sudden the compile fails. WEIRD. So I try a few more
times.. Dies in the same place every time. <SHRUG>. The integrator
swaps this, that, the other things, to the point only 2 things weren't
swapped. Case and power supply. Swaps the power supply, thing builds
fine. Next machine, it starts failing again. I asked if he used the 
power supply from last time and he told me "YES". I offered to BUY
the power supply and throw it in the garbage. 

SO, long story short (TOO LATE), WEIRD WEIRD STUFF can happen with
a seemingly good power supply.
