Wanna bet?

I've crashed a customer system running two different programs that
were monitoring the same stats in different ways at the same time.

Was interesting watching them not panic - given I'd been flown
to the site on Sunday after a meeting on the previous Friday
(they had been looking for someone to fly out on Friday!)
in order to resolve a different problem (which I knew what
was, and had a floppy with a SYSV package to install and fix it).
