This is interesting, although I believe it's a bit drastic to tell people to 
stop using their instruments because of it.
It may, of course, be true that one could be seriously injured if this fault
has occurred, but I believe you have to be quite stupid to manage to
make this fault happen in the first place.

I assume that a substantial amount of current has to flow in the ground lead
for the PCB trace to burn open. I don't know, but I would guess several amps.

If you don't have a clue as to what you are going to measure, then please
use a multimeter first to make sure it's safe, or use an isolation transformer
on the power.

But I guess Tek has to be on the safe side to avoid being sued by stupid
individuals.
