I have long said that you know it's time to ship when you are working the system hard enough to find long-standing bugs: you know that you've hit bedrock, in a sense.And that is the inference I choose to draw from this 7-year-old DTrace bug that I hit this weekend that absolutely had me questioning my own sanity:https://www.illumos.org/issues/15789
