But I was hit by this effect on my system which is - surprise surprise -
Linux :-) Ok, it's a pretty old one with a 2.0 kernel and libc 5.
Yes, we've had that bug too, and yes, I was hit by a clue-stick, and still
have the bruise. That's how you teach people.
[ And how the heck does anybody still run 2.0, btw? ]
