My Atari 800 has a strange, and seemingly transient,
problem.  

Sometimes (nearly always) the TV screen suddenly becomes
filled with interference--a screen-wide stripe of fuzzy-
looking stuff which makes the display under the stripe
hard to read.  The condition usually becomes progressively
worse, but I can stop it temporarily by opening/closing
the cartridge compartment door a few times (booting the
system repeatedly).  

This is a very disturbing problem, but happily it is the
only one that I have had with my system.  Does someone
out there know what is going on?
