Dunno, exactly.  But at least three-four years ago, the way I heard it
it involved someone physically attaching a measurement device to the
line being checked - and for obvious reasons they wouldn't do that
until they had an install order for the line.  What they did while you
were on the phone I have no idea.  My slightly cynical guess would be
that the first-level person didn't know what to make of the conflicting
data, so the buck was passed to someone higher up - or maybe just
another first-level with a few weeks more experience.  :-(

use a memory block after it's been freed, use memory that you haven't
explicitly allocated, etc.  We C++ programmers have developed tricks
to help us deal with this sort of thing, in much the same way that people
who suffer severe childhood trauma develop psychological mechanisms to
insulate themselves from those experiences.  -- Joseph A. Knapka
