I also was surprised by the missed earnings, but we did have a warning! This is an excerpt from the Jaz2 delay news release (12/18/97):

The whole release can be read at:

IMO, it's the analysts fault for completely overlooking this statement. Last time I ever regard an analysts "belief" over my own.
