If you had read the thread carefully, you would know that
I took this measure to draw the attention of potential
future developers.

Feel free to submit patches to wherever you deem sensible.
I for one won't, since I am not familiar enough with the
interfaces used, and I cannot take responsibility for a
software running as root on potentially critical systems.

I'm forced to, or when I want my program to segfault before
even reaching main().[/FLAMEBAIT]
