	Those were the "near-misses" that I was talking about, the ones 
	due to task loading. Monitoring another gauge does increase task 
	loading, and might have been a contributing factor in the cases 
	where someone ran their indepentant doubles "dry". There is no 
	excuse for running out of breathing gas, of course.
