+\S{faq-virtuallock}{Question} Couldn't Pageant use \c{VirtualLock()}
+to stop private keys being written to disk?
+

+doesn't do a proper job: it may prevent small pieces of a process's
+memory from being paged to disk while the process is running, but it
+doesn't stop the process's memory as a whole from being swapped
+completely out to disk when the process is long-term inactive. And
+Pageant spends most of its time inactive.

+\S{faq-openssh}{Question} Is PuTTY a port of OpenSSH, or based on
+OpenSSH?
+
+No, it isn't. PuTTY is almost completely composed of code written

+detector for SSH1 CRC compensation attacks, written by CORE SDI S.A.
