FreeBSD did not fair too well compared : to other OSes. Looking at this, they are under the mistaken impression that things like strlen(NULL) shouldn't produce a core file. A robust system *WILL* produce a core file to show the developer of his error, rather than guess what the right thing to do is. Also, the code to generate the programs used to test things is unavailable. Boring and uninteresting, imho.
