Good to see Juha L. came up with a solution.  I had almost taken the script to
try just such a fix myself but then had second thoughts since it seemed
implausible, or at least possibly not a 100% one anyway.  There wouldn't have
been anything much else to try except to speculate more on what might have been
wrong.  'adaptive' and 'jitter' were two other things I was going to check.
