Gah.

Libraries that "helpfully" do things on behalf of the user strike
again, and the mess bambam posted is what you have to do to disable
these "helpful" effects.

I'll grant that it's possible that the library wasn't trying to be
helpful and was just indicriminately letting side effects loose.

Shame on the writer in any case.
