   It's a pity!  If LMC V1341 is of U Sco-type (shortest interval of
recurrence = 8 years), the next outburst may be already due!  The known
outbursts separated by 22 years is already a good suggestion that the
true recurrence time might be halved (recall that the recurrence time
of U Sco had been assumed to be ~30 years before the discovery of the
1987 outburst).
