The theorical debate about rafined architectures and knoweledge
separation is beyond me, so I'll stay at a very "meta" level, sorry.
Let's go: Theory is nice. When theory hurts practice, then theory
becomes discussable. When the hurt is a segfault with data loss risk,
discussion stops. The patch must be applied.
Thank you very much Anders: We'd like more flea reporters like you,
self-solvers. ;-)
Bye! Alain.
