Funny how they call this forum .*newbies. You wanna talk newbies, look at
the Linux kernel code. Something as simple as namei() had to be split nito
umpteen pieces, each of which is less organized than the next. The comments
appear to have been written by children and are peppered with "in
joke"-style wisecracks that only point to their authors' immaturity and lack
of technical seniority. NEVER have I seen more disorganized code.
Funny, the CAPTCHA word to enter was "exhumed." This sad sack replacement
for namei() looks like it was exhumed from God-knows-where.
