Yes, it will be true - IF developers doesn't understand that a port is not only getting the source and compile it. It involves tailoring, at least a bit, the program to the new OS.
Oh dear. Those SCO guys is making the same error that IBM made with OS/2 2.x and OS/2 3: happily stating that the possibility of running the binaries of another OS is a strong point of your OS. Remember OS/2? IBM said that OS/2 run Win16 apps better than Windows. The result: nobody developed for OS/2, only for Windows, because it runs on Windows and OS/2. Soon people will complain that nobody makes nothing for SCO. They should know why.
Yes, this problem was reported in BugTraq before... Linux/Unix users will have a nsform* shining in [/tmp,/var/tmp] after submitting a form... And the REAL problem: lots of this nsform* on/tmp crashes NS/Linux in a great style! Try to reply lots of mails on Netscape WebMail to see this on action. Luckily crontab is my friend, and every 3 minutes he kills all nsform* on/tmp...
Oh, and I forgot to say: at least these nsform* aren't world-readable and world-writable...

Hey, this game is becoming dangerous.
We must dump patents NOW - or they'll dump all creativity and intelligence on Earth.
