So without the magic, there's no demonstrated possibility for an
exploit, so the justification goes away...

Anyway, getting some unit tests written and committed is prolly your
best way forward. Discussing behaviour is one thing, demonstrating that
it's correct and sensible is another, more effective thing.

The Wine test suite, as I understand it, is considered part of Wine's
Win32 API documentation. And it's the place to demonstrate that a given
behaviour is correct and consistent.

Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids. If it did,
we'd be running around in darkened rooms, popping pills and
listening to repetitive music.
