Hi Michael

I'm told that the Qlogic contacts we used to have are no longer there. Since 
you obviously are a customer, can you ping them and ask (a) what that error 
message means, and (b) what's wrong with the values I computed?

You can also just send them my way, if that would help. We just need someone to 
explain the requirements on that precondition value.

Thanks
Ralph
