This comment doesn't make much sense. iBCS is the Intel Binary Compatibility Standard, an obsolete ABI for i386 Unixes such as Xenix, SCO, and UnixWare. Cloudabi is, in a sense, taking Capsicum to its logical extreme and totally unrelated. -- Brooks --9jxsPFA5p3P2qPhR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJaoFd7AAoJEKzQXbSebgfAxBMH/j3s3MtNnRR4mJBGdy8VlrYv mR4kZ9ThLTzteCW0aRKJn2mOK3gZZemZbZ3B7q0Va2Srn+qDN1Gw3TUjm6wsqSdq WoeqGJnK/D35YbekgBYAUnv4fIoxXj+nw/19Nm0QMN0GdwJvUCE0hE8nK7R4EiOo 07AFggPmGU/3aLNeftRPsgy9pGPmASAVZV00YIh3vOtjV3rKItUhYFqJMcitQ/m8 fLn0XdBu3m45oA99tzH1PIB8XUH6HXNaXLH4MYDGE0uHk9dRaug3GspUKomOo/OI MQ/BUOED9EdCjios9eI7c5U1P6LwNZ2NlecNI3Wb8GxT4LZRziqmvoNw8SF84oM= =CPeF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --9jxsPFA5p3P2qPhR--
