Sorry for my ignorance. Could you please enlighten me and
explain how 
code that behaves identically, except in very, very rare cases, where it 
doesnt fail miserably like the old version, and which might be a tiny 
piece slower, will break compatibility. Do drivers expect the function 
to fail randomly? Is the function time critical? Do snakes have legs? 
Whats the purpose of life?
