Yes, sorry, I was a bit too short with my comment. *If* you know what
you're doing, and this is an option that you choose deliberately, then
my objection is de-fused.
It's the habit of *some* software of doing non-standard fuxups -
without any kind of option or warning - that upsets me, seeing that it
harms the motiviation to get the original bug fixed.
thanks
