Absolutely. That's all I was saying. So I think we're in 100% agreement.

By the way, since I ranted on irc the other day about people using
four-year-old bugreports as an argument against Apache, and much
though I hate to defend Microsoft, I have to say that both of the
url's claim that it is a bug with win9x. (I know, people still use
it, but it is getting a bit grey in the tooth.)

Even MS has the right to fix bugs; the fact that there was a
bug with the socket implementation on a ten-year-old product
is not very high on my list of "why M$ is sh%t".
