Straying a bit
off topic, can someone explain why the Navy, a branch of
the US military, requiring rock solid, uncompromising stability in the
systems that control their vessels, in their infinite procedural and

The NT wasn't the problem. It was their database app not handling a

led to a divide by zero error their app didn't handle.
