Quote of the week

However, then when I start looking at n_tty_receive_room() and n_tty_receive_buf(), my stomach gets a bit queasy. I have this horrid feeling that I had something to do with the mess, but I'm going to lash out and blame somebody else, like tytso, for most of it....

I'd love for somebody to try to take a look at where n_tty goes wrong, but I think that for now I'll just make the fix be the cheezy "limit tty chunks to 2kB". It's worked for a decade, it can work for a bit longer ;)
