In optical transceiver tests we conducted here recently, we were surprised to
discover that many of the transmitters were 1 - 3 db hotter than the ANSI spec
allows.  The vendors tended to think that just made them that much better.
I did not, and we chose our sources accordingly.  So it doesn't surprise me
that someone is actually running into an overdrive problem on short runs.
