re: #311 William Lewis

That reminds me of the legendary comment in the Unix system 6 sources. Deep in the guts of the memory management system was a call that first saved a system context and then swapped it out in a horribly written manner. The comment attempts to explain the mess than gives up, metaphorically throwing it’s arms up in defeat saying “You are not expected to understand this.”

Is that the one that mentions incantations over a witch’s cauldron at midnight, or am I thinking of a different programmer’s campfire tale?
