So in that case, what would be the solution? I guess we would have to
know what testing packages have fixes in unstable, and then use the "-t
unstable" option
as a positive comparison to
this highly prized coin, and which came to mean high quality in general
(such as "he has a sterling character").
So, even though in recent history the word "sterling" came to be
associated with the British pound (and sometimes has been used as a
short form of the name of that currency denomination), the term
originally meant a single penny.

The system froze at this point.
Would this indicate a hardware problem? Or is there still hope that
this can be fixed with software?
