I suppose it's a bit of a recursive case... do I trust the compiler that
compiled my disassembler, which disassembled the compiler that compiled it and
disassembled itself?
A recursive case or a good bedtime rhyme for a 6 year old system's programmer.
I guess, when you *have* to put your faith in something.. it's a lot less
likely a compromise point.
