Just another comment from a developer/manager of The UNIX 
Time-Sharing System for Sperry 1100 Series Computers (its official name).

Scott Orshan's comments are correct.  That 'bear' is three years old;
the more current systems are internal only.
 
That 'bear' and its successor systems have been responsible for the
development of a very large (>1 million lines of C code) software
system for the Bell Operating Companies.  That system was developed
on time, on schedule, within budget, etc., lacking all the traditional
problems of large software systems.
