   "The best diagnostic is a crash"
                  - PJ Plauger (I think)

PJ Plauger is also the author of Plauger's Dogma, which is peculiarly
apposite in this case:

   "No program shall leave its sanity at the mercy of its input."

And, perhaps even more apposite, this from our good friend Anonymous:

   "Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from
    malice."

And (just because I think it's a great quote), one from Stewart Brand:

   "Once a new technology starts rolling, if you're not part of the
    steamroller, you're part of the road."

Regards, K.
