 Ken, a crap code is a crap code, even if it fails on a single system. I
 believe, everyone should be glad that non-standard testing helps to detect
 obscure bugs.

 P. S. Wait a few years, and you will be in the similar situation with
 Intel as I am now with PowerPC. Would you appreciate the same attitude of
 “why would we care to fix a bug if it does not affect us”?
