I agree completely.  That is why I brought it up.  It was not clear to
me the extent to which this was a known issue.  I just wanted to check
here to see if people considered it a bug/issue or whether there was a
good reason for leaving the line commented (seems suspicious
right...that the line is just commented out?).

Great thanks.  I didn't intend to put you to that much trouble.  I just
didn't want to clog the collector with something unless it was a
legitimate issue.

I do.  The problem (at least as I understand which could be not at all)
is that it doesn't work for all types, e.g.

Also, I think using CPM requires a hack as well (changing the global
cache settings) to get rid of a Pragma in the headers.  Finally, I found
it very hard to find good documentation on the CPM (eventually I did
though).
