Ya know what bites about these things?  The amount of resources that it
takes to generate the patches, then test them with *every* test
combination.  I wonder how much companies like IBM, Sun, and HP spend on
security fixes every year...

(Notice I left mickeysoft out.  I know their budget must be a whole $0.50
or so...)
