Uhm, don't forget the bugs section from fvwm 1.2's man-pages:

     As of fvwm 0.99 there were exactly 39.342 unidentified bugs.
     Identified bugs have mostly been fixed, though. Since then
     9.34 bugs have been fixed. Assuming that there are at least
     10 unidentified bugs for every identified one, that leaves
     us with 39.342 - 9.32 + 10 * 9.34 = 123.402 unidentified
     bugs. If we follow this to its logical conclusion we will
     have an infinite number of unidentified bugs before the
     number of bugs can start to diminish, at which point the
     program will be bug-free. Since this is a computer program
     infinity = 3.4028e+38 if you don't insist on double-
     precision. At the current rate of bug discovery we should
     expect to achieve this point in 3.37e+27 years. I guess I
     better plan on passing this thing on to my children....

Hmm something is wrong here, he (R. Nation) hasn't passed it on to his
children??
