crashing and Unsanity

[Patrick Armbruster]

I'd urge OmniGroup to take notice of those crashers and simply inform 
unsanity of the problem. They can then decide whether it's the haxie at 
the root of the problem or OmniWeb... Simple, 'snt it? Well no, of 
course not.
But maybe we should urge unsanity to inform _their_ customers about 
what exactly those haxies are and do - and how they _can_ affect system 
stability... But that of course would be asked a bit much for them to 
do...
