Keith Esau at Informix just posted this on Applelink: Well, the egg is on my face. A couple of days ago I claimed to have found a bug in the Memory Manager of System 6.0.5. I WAS WRONG. After careful examination of the problem, the problem ends up being in my code because of an oversight in an obscure area of my code. Fortunately for me, the fix in my code is easy. Unfortunately, the things I said in my other note have propagated far beyond where I intended. I hope that this message will make up for. As for other developers out there, please don't take anything at face value; CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF! This includes both new Systems and alleged bugs found. And if you do find bugs in System software, contact Mac DTS and let them help you verify it (which I did, but unfortunately I also left a note on a bulletin board). I hope this clears the air.

If this is the "International Letter of Assurance", and the wording appears to be identical, then it's not required for US residents. If a citizen were have stuff shipped to an address outside the US, it looks like it would be required. I guess this means it's OK to use your Mac for building A-bombs in the basement. >Erik A.
