Jeff,

Sadly I can not see any discernable pattern because we see the same 
issues on several different files which perform several very different 
tasks.  Luckily, I have gotten quite a few suggestions from both on and 
off the list from Nancy, Jose, Ernie, Steve, and yourself to name a few 
that will hopefully help guide me in the right direction, I'll keep you 
all updated on my progress.  This is sure to be a daunting task.  Thanks 
everyone for taking the time out to give me some suggestions.
