I thought you are the one claiming to be the good the programmer around here.
First you insult our programming ability, then you ask for programming help?

Gut feel makes me feel I've got to call bullshit at this point --
which "distribution"? You never made your presence noticed on the
minix newsgroup in those days, in fact you don't feature on Usenet
at all in those days.

Of course, similar logic could be used to counter my claims to using
linux in '93, so I am taking some risk with this assertion.

1st bug in MS win2k source code found after 20 minutes: scanline.cpp
2nd and 3rd bug found after 10 more minutes: gethost.c
Both non-exploitable. (The 2nd/3rd ones might be, depending on the CRTL)
