Woohoo. Three years waiting for a new kernel, and they release one that
dies if you run xanim on a big file, without using the -f option. But
that's OK, because 2.4 will fix that. Barf. I'd be a lot more cranky, only
I know I couldn't do it myself.

I had more meant a ecgs type of split. So, you would have standard Linux
and a "more featured, flaky Linux". And then there are those that would say
"But Linux is a more featured, flaky freebsd"...
