It was actually P J Plauger (of Dinkumware) who, I believe sits
on the ANSI C & C++ committees. I have a reference to this
quote in a '97 DISA and JIEO presentation where the SLOC
is given as 100,000.

I understand that he has been quizzed on this infamous quote
by at least one of the regular poster/readers to this newsgroup
and it seems he really did say this or at least something so close
to it as not to be slanderous!
