	This 'trick' is there in all of the previously released TOS versions
including TOS 1.4.  Personally, after examining the code, it seems like a 
safe call to make. I hope we can document that 'trick' so that it becomes 
an official feature.  By the way, I don't make the final decision on these 
things.  Remember, as stated below, these opinions are only my own.
