In fact it is quite new (< year).
That doesn't mean anything. I and others have had drives that were faulty straight out of the package.

My purpose for posting this thread, was solely to see if someone could verify that it is not possible for a program (when crashing) to damage the UNIX installation.
I am not an UNIX expert myself, but I know that UNIX is regarded as a secure operating system.
OSX's boot files are quite well protected, a user-mode program wouldn't have the ability to trash any of them without jumping through several hoops and requiring administrator passwords. I think the game crashing was a symptom, rather than the cause. A crash inside a driver could do this, though.

ppi::token::quotelike
PPI::Token::QuoteLike(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Token::QuoteLike(3)
NAME
PPI::Token::QuoteLike - Quote-like operator abstract base class
INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::QuoteLike
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
The "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the five quote-like operator
classes. In PPI, a "quote-like" is the set of quote-like things that exclude the string quotes and regular expressions.
The subclasses of "PPI::Token::QuoteLike" are:
qw{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Words
`` - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Backtick
qx{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Command
qr// - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp
<FOO> - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Readline
The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is. See their pages for more details.
You may note that the backtick and command quote-like are treated separately, even though they do the same thing. This is intentional, as
the inherit from and are processed by two different parts of the PPI's quote engine.
