There are multiple reasons why this is a bad idea - and even if not,
this is definitly not a change appropriate at the latest minute before
sarge.

It is still not proven that this error can be reproduced w/o using root
privileges - and even than, it's at maximum possible to deny some
service. For this reason, I'll lower priority now, and add
unreproducible.


Cheers,
Andi
