Anything that produces a magnetic field will cause distortion of a CRT display.   
Hold a bar magnet, a blow dryer, or another CRT next to your monitor, and you  
will see some distortion of the display.  What's happening is the magnetic  
fields that control the deflection in each of the two monitors are interfering  
with each other.  So case b) above isn't strange at all.

The only solution is to move the monitors farther apart.
