I agree that 99 times out of ten such a mechanism serves only as a
massive KLUDGE to paper-over application bugs. I'll also sadly
point-out that such a mechanism exists in HP-UX 11.X and I suspect
Solaris !-( I've spent probably the last decade or so attempting to
discourage its use in the HP-UX space, but like some daemon from hell it
just refuses to die.
