I remember that whole ping bug. People were talking about it almost
immediately after it was found and it spread like wildfire and was fixed
within a day or two, at the most, right? 95 has some bugs that have been
known since Win3.11. NT bugs have spread like wildfire (at least on IRC)
and not been corrected.
