Ummm, it is ALWAYS my GOAL to have a bug free program.  As such, as soon as
someone reports a GURU or bug to me, I fix it and give the fix to everyone
with a copy of the program.  I do NOT blame the OS for my bug, nor believe that
the OS should be modified in order to "put up" with errors in _my_ code.
