That was my experience with Digital's cc, running a certain FoRK's ECDL
code. ;-)

VAX or Alpha AXP? It was certainly way before Tru64, in any case.
Before Digital Unix, even. It was in fact the days of OSF/1. And, yes,
DEC did have occasional sleep problems. Crashes, too. But then, so did
SGI, more recently. Like with the 64-processor RS10000. But, so what?
Top of the line PCs were 75 MHz Pentiums in those good old days.
Bleeding edge, and all that.
