I have to admit I don't understand this.Wouldn't a working prototype
have this problem? It happens during normal use. Sure, components can be
tricky (let me tell you some day about building an electronic organ in
the 60s) but to go into production without having tested several
prototypes (to weed out components with +/- specs to see if some were
outside the requirements of the circuit) seems pretty terrible to me.
