No, but when I was a seargeant in the USAF, I once had a colonel snap
open a door into the hallway, and the doorknob caught in my elbow,
dumping two whole trays of SPS assembly language.  The sequence numbers
were only five digits, and I had to wrap through three times on this
one huge program.  Took me many hours to straighten it out. :-(
