If this really happens then this is a terrible bug in tbird.  It's 
nothing which should be patched with the policy.  By not adding the 
support to catch these problems early the code won't be fixed.

New rules are often added for a specific purpose: discover bugs in 
programs and stop existing threats.  It would be wrong to not attack 
these as soon as possible.
