Well, it doesn't seem that there's an answer forthcoming to this...

At one point you needed to reboot after performing a calibration for
changes to be noticed.  There was a bug in Bugzilla that was closed at
some point, so I assume now there's a way to get it to reload without
rebooting, but I don't know what it is

seeing some paper once in which someone had created a mathematical
description of C. (I forget whether or not this included the
preprocessor.) As an achievement, this is somewhat like building a
full-size model of the Eiffel Tower out of tongue depressors. It's
clearly not the act of a talentless man, but you have to wonder what he
said when he applied for his grant.
