Then we should set this flag, even though dyna's linker/init will reset
it internally, and the original bug catch was 100% valid. I am just
wondering why we could not replicate any form of problem, other than the
bug finder telling us of this issue? I know Frank hammered away with 20
or 30 of them last fall (I think last fall). They were all trivial
fixes. I just wonder why these formats have not demonstrated negative
side effects up to this point.
