[ic] Possible Shipping bug?

[Jud Harris]

I once had something similar happen - I was editing the shipping methods via
the admin UI, and it hung upon submit.  I looked at the shipping.asc file
and it had grown to be over 15 megs of garbled text (on one line, I
think..).  Before I knew what had happened, I attempted to restart IC, which
failed because it was trying to read that entire file and was choking on it.

We were having some network problems while I was editing the shipping data
(some packet loss, I think).  My theory was that some of the data was hosed
in transit and/or IC didn't deal well with the network funk and freaked.
That's a very thorough technical diagnosis, mind you... :)
