Re: the 2nd-place winner of the Obfuscation contest.

What's this supposed to do?  On our VAX, its output is the following,
where the 2nd and 3rd lines are the hex digits of the chars:

'",x);_/*_\                                                                    
22272302205                                                                    
72C89B9FAAC                                                                    

The other two programs were sorta cute, but this makes no sense.  Aren't
the winners supposed to do something interesting/entertaining?  Maybe we 
got a garbled version of the program, or it doesn't work on a VAX?
