Stack overflow - 'aint it a bitch?  I often find myself stack-skipping
too, returning to an interrupt that occurred prior to another, and then
having to re interrupt that and return to the propper place.  I've even
been walking through the factory next door on my way to the office and
stopped dead for several seconds wondering what it was I'd skipped in
between, and then have to turn around and go back to whatever it was I
should have been doing before what I was about to do.  The monkeys in
the factory think I'm a bit of a looney.  They haven't ever met anyone
like Paul E before, so that's some sort of consolation.
