SubjectRe: Profanity in the Linux Kernel?!?!?

hee!

actually, this comment bothers me (occurs in fs/binfmt-aout.c):

if (N_MAGIC(ex) == NMAGIC) {
/* Fuck me plenty... */
error = do_brk(N_TXTADDR(ex), ex.a_text);
read_exec(bprm->dentry, fd_offset, (char *) N_TXTADDR(ex),
ex.a_text, 0);

not because of the profanity, but because it makes no sense.
