Shipwright's Deseasei

[COSTICH_ALAN/HPATC1_01@mailhub.cs.itc.hp.com]

I have seen another reference made to "shipwright's
disease". Would someone come forth with an explanation?
I suspect it has to do with starting a project and
finding more and more dry rot(rust worm) damage as
one gets further along. Or, is it getting to a point
in a project where the light at the end of the tunnel
is less than a pinhole?

Perhaps Scott#1 would be willing to elaborate.
