I think we either need to fix it or make it die at startup.  How do
people run those checks on all the binaries in the archive?  It would be
nice to know how many apps we'll break if we do that.  I'm more inclined
to ask them to fix it now - but as before I'm okay with patches that add
compatability if we have a set timeframe to remove them (like Sarge + 1
day)

Tks,
