Actually, though no one from Intel will admit this, the P5 is suffering
from mechanical instability due to the use of proto-matter. According
to an un-named source in the P5 project, "We didn't have any choice.
We know proto-matter is inherently unstable but it solved several
problems in fab".

So, the same problem that resulted in the destruction of the Genesis
planet rears its ugly head again.

For non-Trekkies: if you don't get this, rent Star Trek II: The Wrath
of Kahn and then you will.
