On normal 2 layer PCBs, I've seen my boards stay flat & fine through the SMT mounting 
process, but after the wave pass, they would have an arch in them.  When I changes the 
design to a 4 layer board, it no longer happened.  I think the material on the 4 layer 
was of better refinement than the 2 layer, even though both boards came from the same 
manufacture.
