That warning of mine may have come out a bit more strict than I meant it
to be. I just remembered all those discussions about different, sometimes
unwanted behaviour several people have been reporting ever since patch-2.2
was released. I'm simply not sufficiently sure that the current version
behaves exactly like the old 2.1 in the case at hand. I'ld have to try
that, but I don't have patch-2.4 yet. 

Never mind.
