Who cares?  It's probably his way of saying there hasn't been an
on-topic message on this list in weeks.  Let's get with it folks.

ObBug: There's a bug in Solaris 2.[34] kernel that causes a process
that's writing over NFS to go into an infinite loop when an error is
returned due to the user going over their hard disk quota.  This leads
to obvious possibilities for denial of service attacks.  Sun knows about
the problem but doesn't have a work-around at present.  Somewhere a
function should be returning 70 instead of 49.
