Oh. So what is so bad about this program that should have been included
in *every* QA test suite of *every* release of unix? So what is so
nasty about it? One of the VMS sex fiends here at the U-C ran the
aforementioned code 'accidently' on one of the major production VMS
clusters with hundreds of users, during finals, instead of his own VAX-
station. Nobody noticed. (I don't think he meant to, I think he meant
to run it on his VAXstation. I wish I had a penny for everything a
programmer 'meant to do'.)
No wonder Paul says Unix is a toy. And Unix is like his canoe, broke
but fun while he spent two weeks breaking it.
