Just thought I'd clarify a couple of things here;

Since it *can* happen but really never should and there's no guarantee 
we'll be able to auto-fix it the only sensible thing to do is to die 
after logging the error-message. On some systems these errors fix 
themselves though, so dying might not always be justified.
