Wonderful, thanks for looking that up.

I remember learning about that bug years after the OS came out, and not being too surprised that it was never fixed.

Windows 95 crashed so often that you'd basically have to specifically do nothing with the machine to ever get that crash. And even then, you'd just assume that it was crashing like Windows 95 always did anyway.

So you'd be unlikely to see or recognize that bug unless you were specifically testing for uptime issues.
