Well, if people are going to take that kind of attitude, then I'm not
going to bother fixing it at all.  I've got better things to do than
chase after bugs in almost unused code and code which people shouldn't
be enabling on their platforms.

It's not "Russell said so" but "Nicolas, the author of the code, said so."
I'm merely passing the information along.  Search the archives if you don't
believe me, it's been discussed in the last couple of months, including
potentially removing this code.

I regard this code as a maintanence burden, one that I personally can do
without.
