Well, now I'm not sure what it was. Maybe my
system was unstable then. I tried copy/pasting the comp.txt file to double and then quadruple size, and no problems. IIRC, when I had the problem, ship animations were jerky, and the program didn't respond for some time, storing up my frantic keystrokes until it felt like moving.
It could either have been a buggy component which got edited out in the process or a system on the fritz. A day or two later, my OS really
did go nuts, forcing three reboots in 30 minutes.
I love Bill Gates; it's just his programming staff that I hate.
Anyway, I may have been wrong in attributing it to cause and effect. Maybe it was just bad luck and effect.
