	I was debugging a problem and had to find out where a
	certain message was coming from (it wasn't in any of the
	libraries).  The message I was looking for contained the
	string 'sorry'.  One thing lead to another and thus the
	following list:

	Courteous kernals:

		Sequent:

		% strings unix | grep sorry
		sorry, pid %d was killed due to unsupported system call
		sorry, pid %d was killed due to %s
		%

		DecStation:

		% strings vmunix | grep sorry
		sorry, pid %d was killed: %s
		sorry, pid %d was killed on swap error
		%

		Sun/Soulbourne:

		% strings vmunix | grep sorry
		sorry, pid %d was killed due to swap problems in %s
		%

	
	Discourteous kernals:

		Bull:

		$ strings unix | grep sorry
		$

		Mips:

		$ strings unix | grep sorry
		$

		ICL:

		$ strings unix | grep sorry
		$

		SGI:

		% strings unix | grep sorry
		%

		Open Desktop:

		# strings unix | grep sorry
		#

	Really discourteous kernals:

		Intergraph:

		% strings unix | grep sorry
		strings: Command not found.
		%
