It's a bit unfair for me to respond to Rich Acuff's solicitation of opinions
on the TGC promotion-from-last-generation-collected issue, since I'm one of
his site's users who discovered the problem in the first place.  None the
less, I feel compelled to add the following to the discussion:

Promoting out of the last generation collected has the following two
cardinal hallmarks of a *genuine bug*:
 1) It is counter to the documentation.
 2) It made my runs crash, which they didn't when the bug was patched.
    Note that these were *real runs*, not artificial test cases: they
    were the very thing that we paid TI good money for Explorers to do.

Rich's suggestion of user control is good, but inessential.  What is
absolutely essential is that safety takes precedence over "performance"
(at least by default), and that the documentation reflects reality.

I lost several weeks due to this bug, and I would be *incensed* if TI
were to deny that it is one.  Having lost that much time over it, I'd
be reluctant to ever support the purchase of a machine from a company
that denied it's bugness.

Ok, I feel a bit better now.  I hope some TI folks are reading this.
Thanks.
