Look! -- in the core dump --
it's a byte --
it's a parity bit --
no, it's SUPERBUG!!!!!

Yes, Superbug,
strange visitor from another user,
who came to this system with powers and abilities
far beyond those of ordinary programs.
Superbug - who can change the course of mighty programming projects,
erase whole file systems with a bare machine,
able to clear all of memory with a single instruction,
And who, disguised as a shell file,
a mild-mannered macro for a large metropolitan computing center,
fights a never-ending battle against
tests, assemblies, and the structured way.
