I swear this is no exaggeration. To date, I have never located another

The main difference (having run both) is that 4.1.4 has a very nasty leak
in the sockets code. My production ANS 500 would run out of memory after
awhile because of all the sockets it opened and closed. 4.

and a shiny new server with a service contract.
Interesting method of doing business, although I did play heavy on the student.
