Marcus:

I understand what you are saying, and I am sympathetic. Overall,
Alfred's notes over the last few days have been productive, and the
current discussion seems to have re-engaged his attention and interest
in Hurd. If we can get him to write good code at the cost of a minor
rant once in a while, that doesn't seem like a bad trade.  :-)

Alfred: as penance, you owe Marcus one well-written storage allocator.
As soon as the specs are pinned down, he will let you know. Or you can
wear a hair shirt with the Hurd logo on it to the next LSM meeting. Your
choice :-)

Cheers
