Agreed, asking someone to prove a negative (no possible bugs) is an impossibly high standard to expect of someone, and probably NOT one that Theo would want to impose on any project, including Openbsd. Its far easier for Ingo to cite the already discovered list of bugs and faults that caused the the removal of lynx.. That being said: It seems to me that the quoted text in your message suggests to me that Ingo was asking for specifics about the quality of sqlite. That seems like a reasonable request to me. -- Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
