Poul-Henning Kamp once stated:

=>Why don't we admit this possibility exists (as well as many others,
=>perhaps) for a local user to cause a DoS and may be someday someone
=>will address it?

=Because we have (counts for a moment, but as he flips to the third
=page of notes sighs deeply and gives up) more than plenty of things
=we need to do before that becomes the top priority problem...

Ok. So, make this the (n+1)th on the list... Why is somebody saying
"FreeBSD can not do this" gets flamed with "other OSes can not
either" or "OS is not supposed to do this"?
