[time-nuts] Problem behind failing Galileo clocks identified

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi,

I have heard that there might have been testing procedures that could 
have damaged a component so that it slowly develops into a full problem 
later. This have obviously been known for some time, but the extent of 
real failures was not known.

I would guess that over-voltage can have created a small break-through 
that ends up going short over time. An experienced guy like you will be 
able to make a couple of guesses.

Cheers,
Magnus
