Here is my 0.02: I think it would be useful to identify "unsafe" functions, so that anyone can participate in the "eyeball" portion of the game. This means that we need eyeballed, identified as a (potential) problem and fixed, as well as some other possiblities. There is a lot of code out there, and it would help if we could involve the non-programmers in the search. Comments? Gerald. -- This is your FreeBSD -- Where do YOU want to go tommorow?
