According to a conversation I had with a BD rep., the abort counters
include coincidence aborts and sort decision aborts. I haven't been able
to confirm this as there is nothing in the documentation addressing this.
Virtually all the registered aborts are due to coincidence since the
rate remains unchanged whether you're in ENRICH mode, NORMAL R, Normal C
or Counter mode. For that matter, the abort rate doesn't change when
you load no regions and stop sorting. td
