How coincidental after the weekend discussion...furthermore, I came in to
work Monday to find that my peecee power supply fan had stopped spinning,
so I also had a nice and toasty machine to work with yesterday.  Must have
jinxed myself.

Still, I'm very surprised that AMD made what seems to be a pretty big
design error.
