It's as simple as running a grep through the source tree to find bugs in the
code. Least in the good old days. I'll have to check with my clients how
things fare recently. I suspect it's the same.

None they know about :) There are a number of bugs that have survuved from
2.3 FCS all the way through to 2.5 FCS. I expect them to last much longer
considering the care taken to shield their functionality. (And dont waste
your time or mine by asking). I was slightly annoyed to see Casper get
the telnet one three weeks before 2.5 code freeze :) We were waiting for
them to toss that gimme out there.
