	Are you sure the *(NULL) raise exception on all platforms (at least on 
supported platforms) ?

	Well. Forged about it - I claimed it's up to you despite I disagree.

	The professional applications shall never failed by the uncontrolled 
way saying just "internal error" to user. It can be acceptable for 
gurus, but it's not so nice for casual users.

	On the other side, The FreeBSD has pile of more serious problem so I 
don't want to declare holy war about this detail. We can use our own 
implementation that has predictable results.

	Thank you for your time.
