Bugs & Viruses 1983. The year of the IBM PC XT, the Apple Lisa, Pioneer 10 leaving the solar system, and Hooters opening up shop in Florida. It's also the birthyear of a 25 year old BSD bug, squashed only a few days ago.

Yeeesss...and? 4.2BSD isn't UNIX either: it just has slightly more SysV derived code in it than 4.4Lite. The current modern BSDs don't derive from 4.2BSD anyway, and SysV doesn't derive from 4.2BSD.
