There has been some movement in the past to split up the Safedisc bug
and deal with the individual versions separately. Would it be useful to
advance this? I'm certain that I have a number of games that listed as
apps affected by this bug that no longer have a problem. So I'm not sure
that it works well to maintain the same bug for all versions of
safedisc.
