We can, but my point was that there could be a bug somewhere in our
bf-opencl code that only shows up on some builds - if so, we'd want to
find and fix the bug even if it's of little practical relevance
currently.  Indeed, it is also possible that the bug is actually in
AMD's SDK.  We just don't know.
