One "top programmer" changed his program 20 minutes before the first round of
the 1983 WCCC event, and went on to win the tournament.  We had to do that as
we were given our first glimpse of the parallel machine 2 weeks before the
tournament.  Harry was debugging while I was driving to NYC.  Hsu had the same
problem with DB2 due to some ugly fab shop errors...

It happens...  it would be nice to have a year to get ready.  They hardly had
a month...
