    I've never crashed it, I mainly use Perl in *nix :-P, even using sockets and TCP/IP stuff, maybe Im just too conservative while coding

      Me thinks I am also to conservative while coding to create such errors. They are definitely cool to check out and figure out why they do what they do.

      Personally for me, it gives me a greater understanding of what is actually happening behind the scenes. Sorry no new code!
