  24.      Possibly, it got sideswiped on a platform where "it" didn't work.
  25. If your code conforms to the Standard and doesn't work per the
  26. Standard, blame the compiler.  If your code doesn't conform to the
  27. Standard, it's your problem.  Is life so boring that you want more
  28. problems?
  29.  
  30.      "If it works, it works." = "It's good enough." not "It's good."

  32. Sincerely,
