Make it a NEB, perhaps? I haven't looked at how much trouble that would be,
since the NEB would only want to fire up the check and then let the result
be fed back through the normal channels.

I must confess that all the problems with it has made me refrain from adding
it to op5 installations at all. None of our customers use it. There are far
easier fruits to pick if one wants to boost performance.
