I've seen that too! WTF causes that?
I've started taking the chips out one by one and cleaning the legs by
running them over a strip of scotch-brite. This clears off the corrosion
(and some of these are VERY corroded).
Ugh. I've seen early ICs where the legs essentially rot from the
inside-out; the pins become extremely fragile and prone to just falling off,
and no amount of cleaning makes a good connection.
