I still expect you to apologize to the DIPC authors. You've accused them of lying and bloat without even looking at the code. Unlike you, they actually wrote some code.

Do you think I care? I'll guess the user could catch SIGSEGV. This is clearly not a major issue with the network monitoring tool that seems to be the showcase DIPC application.

You too. You've written about as much kernel code as me. I don't go around flaming developers on a regular basis though.
I suggest you drop this and just publicly apologize to the DIPC authors.
