  Ori and Soen have proposed a spacetime which has closed causal curves on the
boundary of a region of normal causality, all within a region where the weak
energy condition (positive energy density) is satisfied. I analyze the causal
structure of this spacetime in some simplified models, show that the Cauchy
horizon is compactly generated, and argue that any attempt to build such a
spacetime with normal matter might lead to singular behavior where the
causality violation would otherwise take place.
