Old news! Take a look at the following discussions in Sep/Oct last
year (2007). I hope the links are clickable. Pay special attention
to postings by Jerry Lewis in those threads.

How is it that so many people have stumbled upon that specific
combination when there are so many others that produce this
irregularity? Is there something that costs $77.10 that everyone
needs 850 of?

I suspect there are a lot of copycat sightings, people trying to criticize
this already fixed problem (when there are others deserving of attention).
