   Use the unprinter to sanity check the changes you make.  A lot of the
   bugs we've been finding can be caught that way.

That's a good point (although I haven't been able to get it to work --
it seems to want to eat all of my memory, and considering that I have
256 MB each of RAM and swap that's quite a lot).  However, the problem
is that I don't think any of us know what is and is not legal.

None whatsoever.
