   Interesting story.  What it doesn't explain (or maybe I'm not getting it) is   
   why the attempt to delete the old files wasn't made until sol 15, just 4   
   days before the old files would create a critical shortage of memory.  Seems   
   like they had months to fix the problem and didn't.  Am I missing something?
