Agreed--which I why I never said otherwise.

But I thought the user might want to actually use his system before 
someone debugs the segfault, commits a fix, tests it in unstable for a 
week, backports it to 0.24-fixes, then the distro packages up the fixed 
version, and the user finally pulls that update.  (Though, IMHO, it 
should just exit when improperly configured--meaning that proper 
configuration will be required, even then. :)
