I haven't seen anything like that; it sounds ugly, and I'm pretty
sure that the developers would like to know about *anything* that
can cause their code to break repeatably. I *know* that if I were
a developer, and someone found a guaranteed bust, I'd want to know 
about it, ja, you betcha, for _sure_.

The Time Travel Spammer has been doing his thing again. Either he's 
a frothing, but sincere, loon or he's a stranded, and sincere, time-
traveler. I'll put my money on #1, but I'll also look for ads with

         All the
         Talk
         Of the 
         Market

against a 10% background cut of a mushroom cloud, just in case.
