It is good to catch as much errors as possible automatically.

This is the same as libpthread shooting applications that do the
wrong thing. We've been through a lot of pain and NetBSD got quite
some blame for it, but it caught real bugs all over the place in 
applications that were said to be running flawlessly (which of course is
a myth) on other OSes.
