Yup, these things ought to be fixed at source; however, I think that 
leaving the ugly in the critical path will save me time in the long run by 
dealing with new examples of the same problems.

Fancy a modest wager?

Of course, if I was a good citizen, I'd syslog whenever the ugly did 
something and fix whatever triggered it. It turns out that I'm too lazy to 
be a good citizen :)

Yowsah.
