So, current plan is more stress-testing, then finally button it all

Hey, I used to do tech support for the dispatch systems used in 911 centers.  (And this wasn't script-monkey tech support, if it was a code problem I was expected to correct the code and distribute the fix so it could be applied as part of the next regular update.)  Sometimes that kind of slow repetitive grind is how you get it done.
 

Something I learned pretty early in my career was that you get two types of bugs, those that you almost know where the problem is straight away and those that require a more methodical approach.
The ones I really hated where when they turned out to be a problem with the hardware.
