well, no. in theory, at least. something like that. it's more a problem of bad programming / software engineering- the incident makes a damn good case for value checking and testing. :) I won't say anything about, oh... a certain operating system encouraging horribly, shoddily written, lazy, poor excuses for programming. I think that other flame war is enough for the list already (and they might have covered this already). hehehe ;-) Mike McGuire
