As I mentioned above, the problem is mostly "bit rot" as the code has
not been maintained in a while (IIRC, it was written on a box to which
the author only had remote console access and the ability to ask the
owners to reboot it 8-), and code around it has evolved.  Additionally,
due to the lack of documentation of the machine, slight changes in
the code often have unexpected/undesireable properties... Also, due
to the lack of documentation, things changing in the supporting code
have at times caused the O2 code to no longer work.
