``There's always one more bug.'' (Murphy)  :-)

However, last time i had a deal with IRIX (admittedly, this was with
5.3), it had quite a little more than just one bug... we couldn't even
run it for longer than 3 or 4 days since the kernel had a serious
memory leak eating up 40 MB during this period (with an otherwise
almost idle system, the monitor has only been turned on in order to
reboot it).

``So what''...
