"In what environment does that sort of thing happen? Is it really
that important anyway? How should I view this? We'd have considered
that serious in DOS, but maybe it's a detail here. Looks like we need
more testers? That's me! OTOH, it seems that zsh/linux code is just
naturally more robust, maybe? Seems so. Is this 'bad' or just par for
the course, I wonder. So many added layers! Must it be so? Perhaps
I need a complete change in how I view a code defect."
