This will take a little time since one has to log off to see the problem
and I have no idea which 1.7.10s was the starting point. Unfortunately,
the rest of this week, I won't have very much time to do many
iterations. I'll see if I can find where it started and post back,
but unless it's in the first few tries, it will likely be sometime
next week before I have the answer...
