If the developers know about it, then they know about it. No
about of whining about GNATS on your part changes that.

When I see a NetBSD/VAX developer acknowledge to someone with
corrupted firmware on a 4000/90 that the corruption is a known
issue, then I *KNOW* one word: True.
I've never seen anyone attribute this problem to anything
but NetBSD/VAX. You may not believe it, but I really don't
care.

I don't need to go on record, since others have. Stating the
truth is not whining. Other than the fact that perfectly
good 4000/90 systems have been killed, I don't care about
NetBSD/VAX.
I'm not going to discuss this with you any more. From other
threads, I know discussing anything with you is like talking
to a brick wall. So say what you like in response, I'm not
going to read it or respond to it.
