Thanks, but it seems as if that web page is for the 2nd edition. I have two copies of this, one of which is much thicker than the other, despite having the same number of pages, but that’s a different wildly off-topic topic. I used to have a copy of the 1st edition, and I’m sure that the background colour was white. Did there ever exist a version with a blue cover?

Also, I think that “It’s a fair cop, but gcc is to blame” should be an adequate defence in any court of law.
