Yup, the nature of this thing is that it's likely completely random in how
or when the bug strikes. I think 'node' was unusually succeptible, for
reasons which are no fault of node at all. Is someone going to upload
a kernel patch on ftp.hes.iki.fi or radio.linux.org.au? Err how is this
kind of bug normally handled.
