I was asking about known bugs, which become design features if they don't have
an impact under any condition someone cares about. If I'm going to get a 404,
I don't really care if I get an access violation as long as "$?" is non-zero. I
was
being somewhat facetious but within the scope of my original premise. You
have to prioritize fixes and this certainly wouldn't get a big item if it
existed.
Things like buffer overflows have been known to create vulnerabilities but
in this context probably not a big issue.
LOL.
