Every so often I make the mistake of assuming everyone's mature and grown up, and not actually 12 years old inside (like myself)

According to StackOverflow[^], it was fixed in 2.0 SP1, so somewhere around November 2007.
The hotfix[^] seems to have been released in August 2007, so that fits.

You're right: I did get my dates mixed up.
Well that ruins a good story, doesn't it. Merely 9 years old. That bug is small enough I should throw it back in the pond.

Can't say I fixed it.

I spent October through December smearing a ribbon ( of lipstick on an app whose late 90s MFC version was a window of lipstick applied around a C/X-Windows/(probably) Slowlaris application.
It would be easier to list the things in that app we changed that weren't issues. (I'm pretty sure the exhaustive list for the latter was to write a new installer.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I still occasionally tweak a C++ app I wrote some 20+ years ago. Custom TCP/IP comms, named pipes, etc.

I got an email last month from an ex client asking about an app I wrote in SuperBase in the mid 90's, astonishingly he is still using it on an old 486. He runs a small tyre shop in the boonies!

Not sure if this counts but I've just finished working out the kinks to replace a SFX tool from 2001! (MakeSFX) I'd say we got our money's worth from that one! If I remember correctly, it was open source and I made a $35 donation.

I actually remember reading about that bug. For the first time. On CP.
In fact, I googled it a couple of months back. I don't even code much anymore.
