that will do this? This seems preferrable to blowing up with the error

I think removing CRs wouldn't be very nice, and it would require more code that could be just as buggy. The correct way to handle this would be to just fix it to work with CRs. Most of the code already is there, there are probably just a few places where the handling is wrong. But since the workaround is easy and I've a lot other more important things in my TODO list, things are as they are..
