Just one of the benefits to users of "free software" - ideas can be freely 
pinched.

One thing I do not understand; why has stackguard (or similar) not been 
incorporated into gcc 2.95 and/or egcs?

I'd rather slightly slower code that's more resistant to stack-trashing 
bugs.

A program that works is much more useful than a faster program that 
doesn't.
