Hi all,

The following email makes my just-updated CVS gnus crash every time I try to
read it.

As with my C-d non-digesting problem, I hope this is repeatable by somebody
else and not just a peculiarity of my setup.

CRAY INC. ANNOUNCES PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH APPLIED TECHNICAL 
SYTEMS, INC.

Cray to Extend CCM Data Mining Technology to Supercomputing Platforms

SEATTLE (April 30, 2002) – Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq 
NM: CRAY) today announced that it has entered into a professional services 
contract with Applied Technical Systems, Inc. (ATS) headquartered in 
Silverdale, Washington. The contract’s goal is to link ATS’s patented data 
mining system, the Contiguous Connection Model, to supercomputer 
power.  The contract, estimated to be worth more than $800,000, calls for a 
full-time Cray professional services team comprised of computer scientists 
and applications experts to work on this project for a year, and contains 
provisions for follow-on work.

“Our patented Contiguous Connection Model (CCM) is an advanced correlation 
engine which automatically extracts hidden and obscure relationships from 
any source of free text, such as the Internet, corporate document stores 
and existing databases,” said ATS president Brian Welter.  “CCM 
automatically discovers and stores the inherent relationships hidden in the 
information being analyzed. The result is a relevancy maximized information 
set that can be easily browsed or searched.  Additionally, the persistently 
stored relationships result in virtually instantaneous information 
retrieval. For example, we developed a product for law enforcement agencies 
that enables investigators to gather information from multiple disparate 
sources, such as credit reports, NCIC reports and telephone records, into a 
single searchable information store which automatically reveals important 
unexpected relationships.”

“Our work with Cray involves developing an application for agencies of the 
U.S. Department of Defense based on our technology that will enable them to 
correlate and analyze information from a variety of sources,” added 
Welter.  “Currently we are limited to single-processor systems and 
relatively low volumes of data.  We are excited to work with Cray to extend 
this application to supercomputer platforms, and are particularly 
interested in the large shared memory and high bandwidth attributes of the 
Cray MTA-2(TM) system,” said Welter.

Added Kevin Rogers, Cray’s professional services practice leader: “This is 
an excellent example of how Cray’s expertise in the design and development 
of supercomputer applications, as well as hardware, can assist other 
companies in developing true HPC solutions.  With ATS, we will help 
redesign and implement the CCM system to be more modular, scalable, 
portable and extensible.  While our work will be platform independent, we 
will look closely at the attributes of the MTA-2 system as well as other 
viable platforms for future development,” added Rogers.

“Cray is dedicated to advancing supercomputing architecture and 
applications,” added Cray president Jim Rottsolk.  “The collaboration with 
ATS demonstrates how we can combine two high performance technologies and 
produce powerful results that benefit both companies.”

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements. There are certain 
factors that could cause Cray’s execution plans to differ materially from 
those anticipated by the statements above.  Among these factors are the 
technical challenges of porting application systems to high performance 
computer platforms, the risks in the development of high performance 
computing systems, the limited market for third party application software

risks, see “Factors That Could Affect Future Results” in Cray's 2001 Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.

Hmm, I can't even reproduce the problem myself.  When I save the message to a
file, I am not able to read it as an nndoc group.

Incidentally, C-d works fine on my previous posting.

What does "crash" mean?  C-d on your mail and viewing the article
worked here.  Use M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET to get a backtrace
when something bad happens.

The charset is a bit bogus.  The message has dumbquotes in it.
