Another idea just occurred to me: Maybe MicroSoft is studying a GNU server setup so they can work out a way to remotely turn it off, just like those new programs they're going to sell. Or maybe they are trying to figure out how to write a source file with code that will crash the server on command, a very secret command, and then get someone to submit the file as a contribution to the Kernel. New kind of "poison pill".
