Heh. No worse than the vendor binary-only OS on my home machine, which
is a Mach derivative and - AFAICT - suffers from the same bug. It's
just less obvious because it's harder to definitely identify without
kernel source :-)
SunOS 4 may well have the same bug. I just added up the process sizes from
`ps' on my machine and got 97224k, but `pstat -s' reports 137612k used. I've
seen such discrepancies many times before, and have long wondered what caused
them.
