[For part I by the second author see SIAM J. Sci. Stat. Comput. 6, 923- 938 (1985; reviewed above).] It is shown for a leap-frog discretization of equation \(u_ t+uu_ x\) that any particular unstable solution behaves as an attractor of other solutions. The overflow time is estimated and related to the notions of stability threshold and restricted stability.
