:)afaik this is only true on OldWorld machines

Well, it is true on OF 1.0.5 machines, and I have a report that only
real-base is reset to default on OF 2.0.x.

Anyone else with an OF 2.x machine want to comment?

Also, you should mention that zapping the PRAM (command-option-p-r) resets
all OF variables to default on all OF versions.
