cheryl -
re: Gee, why don't drivers seem to be a problem for Solaris???

You are on very shaky ground with this line of discussion - and anyone who does more than vanilla application work with Solaris will tell you that Solaris is exactly as prone to a bad pointer or corrupted stack as any other OS. Before you get too smug you should look at some of the recent problems on some big systems. I don't intend to get into a Solaris-bashing contest because I think it is a fine OS - but it is not magic, it is just a little more stable, mostly because it runs in a proprietary world and does not have any need to accomodate anyone elses' mistakes.
