Terry, Let me get this straight: Those two examples above are pulled from the set called "Terrys problems". The set called "The FreeBSD projects problems" has emperically been shown to not overlap "Terrys problems" to any significant degree. Plenty of innocent electrons have been wasted in the last 10 years trying to prove that that the set "Terrys problems", is the most important subset of the set "The FreeBSD projects problems", but so far no evidence has been found to support this claim. In fact, considering the amount of evidence to the contrary, most of the people involved tend to think that "Terrys problems" is very descriptive of the reason those electrons were wasted.
