Inductor or capacitor - I forget which.

I had a similar problem 20+ years ago: the board was working really weirdly so I stuck a scope on to look at what was happening and ... the problem went away. I talked it over with Tektronix, and (apart from their first suggestion which was "ship a scope with each unit?") they were very helpful. IIRC, it was the scope probe capacitance that was fixing it and adding a couple of pF to the line smoothed it all out and it worked faultlessly from then on (though it may have been a small inductor we needed to add, I can't remember and the H/W designer died a few years ago.)
