If anyone can help me track down the source of this kind of rumor, I'd
appreciate it.  It goes beyond the limits of normal competitive give and
take.  Jonathan, the bug lists supplied with chips are accurate to the

And while they've been serious in the past, the bugs in the current chips
are few and easily avoided.
