I don't think anyone else did either.  Had me a bit puzzled too because
of the way it was continually used.  I thought Chris meant it and assumed
he was referring to a "clash" between the problem program and other stuff
he was running.  I wondered why he didn't specify the other "problem(s)"
to help someone supply a diagnosis of his problem.
