further adventures in wasting time

The 2 days I'd never get back eventually turned into around 4-5 days total of developing, creating unit tests, system testing, and correcting various bugs the tests didn't find.

And now 1 more day. Backing the changes out.

Released ~2 weeks ago; customers and internal support are finally installing the new version and KABOOM! Unknown references in the C Runtime library.

Superfantastic news! Turns out our development / production testing environment isn't at the same HP-UX patch level as most customers' systems. Thanks, Oracle 11g! Thanks, budget constraints that made someone decide they had to stick it on the same server we use for support!
