most utilities don't do it, and properly should not.  some, however,
do need to do it and it assumed that they know *exactly* what they are
doing.

i have patch that does this (well...an modification to patch-ab for
the lsof pkg in pkgsrc) that i'll probably be comitting soon, however
i was waiting to discuss the issue with either (or both) of the person
who made the changes in question and the maintainer of lsof.

please stand by.  :)
