It is caused during the reflow soldering process where non-uniform melting causes an unbalanced force to be applied to the chip from the solder.

Tombstoning - A WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) process that marks records for deletion. The marks are also replicated to other WINS servers to prevent tombstoned (but not deleted) records from being propagated.
