[Beowulf] Whiskers and computer problems.

[Robin Laing]

As many clusters are built in proper computer facilities, this may be 
a problem.

I am not talking about whiskers from unshaven workers. :) I am talking 
about zinc whiskers causing strange computer problems and shutdowns.

It is a big enough problem that NASA has a series of articles on it.
