Thank you for asking.  It would seem to be okay.  However there are good
reasons why it is not ok.  I am working with my TAs to figure out what to do,
since we do want you to have a debugged lab 3 to start with when you add the
stuff needed to complete lab 4.

Please do not talk to any other student about lab 3 until I get back to you.
Of course you can still get help from my TAs or me.

Thank you.
