Yes, thought that one was quite cute at the time too.

Ah yes, users. I forgot about those. Life would be so much simpler
without them sometimes eh ? 8-)

On a completely unrelated note, can someone explain to me why the sudden
increased popularity of slackware ? I've no end of bug reports recently
from users of said distro, and 9 times out of 10, they've miscompiled
some basic package, fscked things royally, and then blame me for
shipping a tarball that doesn't compile.

Case in point was luser who seemed to have every lib in system linked
against pthreads[1], and had then deleted pthreads to 'fix something'.
Resulting applications/libs weren't too happy.

    Dave.

[1] I remembered this incident as said person had linked libxml to
    pthreads for $deity knows what reason.
