Ted, are you saying only one machine, or was that multiple machines?
Because we have not seen it with a single machine on the network (ok,
would someone from the "big shop" correct me if they have?).

Jerone has been trying to recreate it right now and hasn't seen it
so far.

I believe it is the scenario that Ewan describes above.
