That sounds like a scene in "Forever War", by Joe Haldeman.

Can't be. I just finished that one, and there's no such scene. I think Michael's suggestion is probably right, though. I seem to recall something like that from /Star Hunt/, though I'd have to dig up my copy to be sure. -- --==From the mailbox of B.
