Scott,
Thanks for the feedback. The various failure mechanisms you mentioned
are all under consideration, and we're trying to determine (with
a high degree of certainty) which mechanism(s) is the real problem
before we try coming up with a fix.
I like the hot/cold idea. This is a new one on me, and it looks
quite easy to do and useful.
Thanks,
Pat
