"Never change a running system"

Hello

Does anybody know where the expression "Never change a running system."
comes from or who said it the first time? A short search session in
google has not shown a answer but the interesting fact that this
expression is more often used in german use groups than (as one could
expect) in english use groups.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Alex
