Short excerpt of a meeting on problems with a piece of server software that just shipped a few days before the meeting:
Developer: "Our biggest problem is the signal 11 problem - we really must invest a lot of time to clean-up our code, otherwise the whole thing will be a disaster soon..."
Technical director: "You always want time for solutions that are not needed! In fact it's easy to fix that problem: write a signal handler!"
Developer: "But of course we've already got a signal handler... but this just catches the signal, it doesn't cure anything...???"
Technical director: "Why not? If you catch it, you can ignore it and nobody will notice!"
