�Has o�do a RMS hablar del bug de la fase de la luna?

jargon:
   True story: Once upon a time there was a bug that really did depend
   on the phase of the moon. There was a little subroutine that had
   traditionally been used in various programs at MIT to calculate
   an approximation to the moon's true phase. GLS incorporated this
   routine into a LISP program that, when it wrote out a file, would
   print a timestamp line almost 80 characters long. Very occasionally
   the first line of the message would be too long and would overflow
   onto the next line, and when the file was later read back in the
   program would {barf}. The length of the first line depended on both
   the precise date and time and the length of the phase specification
   when the timestamp was printed, and so the bug literally depended
   on the phase of the moon!
