ghostpop3 This program simulates a "always no messages" POP3 server.
You can use this to gather the user/pass combination for some migration or, if you have problems with the main POP3 server, you can use this to fake a server, so the clients will not call to ask why the server is not up.
In the future, it will be extended to serve a usefull message instead of returning no messages.

cpublaster Because of cpu aliasing problems, there are a lot of problems with stalled pipelines. A famous problem is here, at stackoverflow.
This library tries to intercept the memory allocations to skew the allocations to different offsets, so the performance penalty to disappear.
Applications that process a lot of data in big memory allocations will benefit from this application without recompiling the sources (if available).
This is alpha code.
