OK, let's think logically.   IFF 2.4 code and later is problematic, what is 
the
last non-problematic code?  Take that, diverge off, and leave SCO in a pile
of doggydoo.

I seem to recall this wheel spinning about 10 years back or thereabouts.
AT&T lost their shirt.  BSD diverged off, and now look where it is.  Seven
files were pulled out and rewritten.  It took several months.  Linux could
easily do the same thing, and leave SCO in the dust!

Food for thought.....
