I'm curious, Vadim. What operating system do you use? All of them I've
dealt with, the vendors didn't consider releasing the source code. There
are a few real limited OSs distributed as public domain or shareware,
but I don't think there are many sites using Minix or Xinu commercially.
Certainly, AT&T hasn't generally released the source for UNIX without a
(expensive) license; Microsoft to my knowledge hasn't licensed source to
more than a couple of repackagers, and DRI never released source for any
version of CP/M or DR-DOS. There are limits to what you can get.

If you were seeing "hard cpu errors", I'd suspect the cpu chip or board,
more than the OS.
