- I don't remember anything being particularly confusing or difficult, but I
- do remember that my most embarrasing mistake was assuming that pointers could
- be treated as unsigned integers in a UNIX kernel modification I mailed out to
- the UNIX-WIZARDS mailing list. Fortunately, that happened 12 years ago, so
- I've managed to live it down :-).
