 		 #116026 - you keep referring to "glue"
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I know of no glue that should be appearing at the point at which you suggest is "evaporating."

Those "legs" are part of a lead frame to which the chip inside the package is connected by wire welds. Unless there's been a radical change in packaging technology since I last looked, not impossible, BTW, those "legs" are a single piece of metal that reaches well inside the package.

What could be melting/cutting/breaking the pins is a mystery. What would be interesting would be to know whether those missing pieces are showing up anywhere, say, in the wash-effluent.
