The rather interesting sinking of the oneAustralia yacht in the Americas
Cup is a bit funny, not that solaris could have caused any problems
in the CAD software used, but Sun did sponsor it, it would seem fair
to assume that Solaris was the O/S.

Rats and sinking ships?!

I thought it was funny, anyway :)

(there's no fp bugs in SPARC is there?  how about dodgy libm in Solaris?!)
