Well, that's really great! I'm totally happy with that, and I'm glad we
could have this interchange.

I still haven't said BSD is buggier than System V. I'm saying that System
V seems better integrated and I personally trust it more. The bugs are
weirder in BSD, if you like. I wish they'd both dry up and blow away so
we could start over, but it won't happen...
