I was in SIGOps with Brian back at UIUC when Paul Swanson was running it. That was back around 1997-1998, so that's not surprising since Brian had published his source code for his "toy" OS and it was widely available.

Brian also worked at Be, Inc. and Danger before Google. The guy knows his low-level code.
