Fine, be an ass.  You are denying reality.  I'm done replying to this
thread.  FreeBSD's hack works well enough that I don't need all the
crap and weird stuff that you say I need. It works well enough to
catch runaways that I can use sudo to kill them at my leasure.  It
works well enough that runaways can run for a long time before people
notice that there's a problem.  Want to have a big sysadmin slong,
fine, but don't tell me things I know to be false, OK?

I'm outta here.
