Baloney.

It's written in an older style, sure, but it's remarkably bug free considering 
how complex it is. The complexity is a result of the fiendishly complex x86 
instructions set.

The proof of its quality is it has successfully been extended from a purely 16 
bit generator to 32 and extended again to 64 bit, and has been extended to 
support multiple ABIs and object file formats.

The DFA optimizer has also proven to be fast and very robust.
