[sci.space.shuttle] Did the Discovery's SRB leak flames

Well it was certainly nervewrecking listening to the takeoff this
morning on the radio.  Sounded as if everything went well (phew)!  So
here's a question for careful listeners: Did the SRB's leak again?  I
missed the nightly news tonight, but my wife was watching NBC nightly
(5:30PM CDT) and said that they had a closeup of an SRB leaking flames
(:-( with a circle drawn around the spot.  Could this be, or was this
some reference to the Challenger?  If anyone has further info, please
post the full scoop.  Thanks.
