It should be noted that this crash is unreproducible by others - I tried
it on three different computers, running two different operating systems
(Linux & FreeBSD) with no crashes.

About a dozen other have had experiences similar to mine, with a wider
range of operating systems than I am able to test (NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris, etc).

And no, I don't speak for ISC - just reporting my own experiences and
observations from BugTraq.
