A similar situation in regard to the OSF donation of the Sun
shared library code (why didn't 4.4 integrate this?) made me
throw out my initial shared library implementation in January
of 1994.

Then, of course, the purchase of USL by Novell in June of 94
screwed the release of the rewrite... the big joke going around
Novell was "when USL bough Novell...".
