And the problem on the Linux side was that the wording of the bug report/notification was very obscure (maybe due to embarrassment over the stupidity of the bug?) Because of the obscure language, the Linux people completely missed it and didn't realize what they were talking about. So the bug lived for a long time unaddressed in the linux world. Meanwhile people were blaming the problem on buggy agp hardware, lousy binary graphics drivers, sun spots, bad application code, bad RAM, bad graphics hardware, buggy XFree86 code, and just about anything else you could imagine.
