Some place in the archives of this list or the Matronics list is a diagram
on how to make a simple reliable and fairly cheep ground tester that will
test how well the ground paths will function.

(looking but not finding at the moment)

John,

   What is a "weak" ground?

   Any high-resisitance connection (including too small a
cross-section for the current being passed) will encourage
current to flow through another, lower resistance, path.

   Gotta wonder why that particular spot got hot, though.
Seems like the heat would be distributed along the entire
braid.
