unreliable (un' r@ li' @ b@l) adj.  The state of SunOS Netscrape 3.01
under NetBSD after one picks the Options menu and dinks with
stuff under there.  Occasionally netscape will just kind of go into
some tight loop not doing anything.  'ps' output shows that it
is in a 'R' or 'Rs' state, which indicates that something is in user-
mode.

It isn't that I can't run Slowlaris Netscrape, it's that I can't run
Slowlaris ANYthing that bugs me, especiallly when it looks as
though we ("What you mean 'we',. user?") have put in a LOT
of effort into making NetBSD/SPARC able to run SunOS and
Slowlaris binaries.
