Similar to the train being stopped by a toilet flush, in the 90's, I worked with devices based on Microsoft's Pocket PC OS. These were equipped with wireless radios. The transmission of a packet caused some interference that the device interpreted as a click on the screen. The cursor was over the [X] to close the application window, so the application would just quit, looking like it crashed.
