Actually, it's my own bloody fault.  I'm running an FT PBeM game, and
one of
the things I do is calculate bearing to ships (to find out what arc
they're 
in.)  And it so happens that the two ships are positioned so it falls
EXACTLY on an arc boundary.  (Relative Bearing 270).

Whee!  I'll probably just back plot it a bit and then go from there.

Thanks,
J.
