don't know about that one, but i was involved in one where the backup
wouldn't run at night. i'd run the thing in the morning and it worked
fine but it wouldn't work at night. seems the cleaning crew needed
another plug to vacuum the server room and just unplugged that server
every night, then plugged it back in when they left. and the SA on the
box couldn't tell me that was happening.;-)

You gotta program like you don't need the money,
You gotta compile like you'll never get hurt,
You gotta run like there's nobody watching,
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work.

Software is mind work. Having the right frame of mind is essential.
