They must. How about the force that a magnetic field produces on a
current-carrying wire? If the field were _REALLY_ strong, it could pull the
connections apart inside. Also, the Hall effect would cause parts of the
chip to become polarized when they shouldn't be. The field would probably
have to be rediculously strong!
