Thats been the million dollar question lately... there has been quite a
bit of complaints about this patch... but note the check does do some
correct sanity checking so the changes it point would be a good
thing to do....

But with that said, I would if making it a warning first, giving
people time to clean up their setups and then making it an
error later on...

steved.
