Not now, maybe later when I have time to dig a bit more into it. It would not 
help when someone like me just adds other problems.

I am sorry that I did not read your question properly last time. I am not sure 
if this code is necessary for some special case in FBDevPreInit. At least it 
does not do any harm there, so I left it. But you are right, maybe it is not 
needed there, and then it should be removed. Also to get a bit more towards 
clear code ;-) But this needs to be investigated before. I will do that when 
I have time again.

I will first wait for some other comments on that.
