Can we PLEASE get the latest round of UNIX jokes into a more
appropriate group!  (Note follow-up line.)  I'm having a lot of trouble
wading through these to find messages asking about non-blocking read's:-)

And now--> The pot calling the kettle black:

>From article <864 at vsi.UUCP>, by friedl at vsi.UUCP (Stephen J. Friedl):
> Instead of the normal message:
> 
> 	Memory fault - core dumped
> 
> we patched the shell to say
> 
> 	Rogers fault - core dumped
> 

Those who were on the CMU campus in the summer (?) of '87 might remember
when a certain system developer accidently released a version of the
C-shell to the entire campus in which the message

	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

was changed to

	Excreting an apple (core dumped)
