No, but his being a SysAdmin does...  ;O)

I have to say that I don't think he was rude, and we was talking to me.  But 
then I was a sysadmin for 6 years, back in my youth.

He was, however, wrong.  Solaris indent causes other problems, and I'd spent a 
few minutes installing GNU indent 1.9.1 to surmount *those* for a previous build 
of ORBit that went successfully.  My current problems are directly due to the 
new orbit-idl executable being unable to parse any *.idl files once built =O(
