This is a detailed study of a certain boundary collocation method for elliptic problems. This method apparently has been in ill repute as being very sensitive to rounding error. The authors demonstrate that even if infinite precision were available, the method is quite ill-posed for quite simple problems arising when attempting to compute an approximation to a harmonic function on quite simple regions. The autoposy of the method is quite thorough.
