Well, perhaps the first thing to do is to collect examples of cases
that are dangerous and look for patterns. I suggest we do this under
1.5.3, using th -w flag, so we don't come up with problems that have

taker. Are we just waiting for him to send out the announcement, or is 
this something that we do ourselves?
