Puzzling! Maybe it is random, but it doesn't seem random**. I'm at least the
third user on the list to have mentioned it, and don't recall having seen that
error before in 'mu', excepting with 'ppp-on'. On the other hand, most mu
users don't seem to have this problem with 'ppp-on', so if it was indeed a bug,
it would have to be a subtle bug.

(**Of course, by definition, random numbers often seem orderly. How casinos
and lotteries stay in business perhaps...)
