I am trying to find people who might know (a) the date range of the 
problem, (b) the exact nature of it, and (c) whether the archive was 
fixed for it.  They are not in their offices.

I am quite certain that it was present at all times, not turning on and 
off, but perhaps only at some bands and not others.
