Thanks for the tip, Ernst, but
1) I don't think Thorsten rebooted the computers in such a way. Tiger did not
crash, so there was no need to do so.
2) The operating system on Tiger's side was clean (simple DOS).
3) there were several games played, meaning that the buffers had several hours
to get flushed...
It is something else.
