Now there's a puzzle. I still have a tough time believing that the
cause was trapped gas or what-have-you between the pad and the shell or
increased pressure from trapped air. In the absence of physical
evidence of a cause I guess I remain uncommitted. Thanks very much for
sharing the circumstances. Episodes like this are the best way we have
to learn.
