- You might start by dragging out the old 10/20 software dispatch! Not only were
- fixes published, but also fixes to fixes :-) AND SPRs with no fix. Them you
- knew where to not put your feet! Not quite as good as removing the mine field,
- but at least you knew to be carefull. It also allerted people to look out for
- the bug, and generate more info on it to the developers.
