   No kidding. I fixed an obvious bug and it didn't go over well with the   
   sites. They had found the bug and exploited it to assign the same unit to   
   two or more calls at once. There was the possibility of system instability   
   that would require a support person to untangle it but it *usually*   
   worked.
