The subroutines involve must have a side-effect such as writing to file
that must be done. This is just bad design. But it's hard to convince
management that fixing the symptoms just makes the next fix harder to
do. Fixing the root of the problem is best but often you are not given
enough time. So you write a kludge. And every kludge you add is just
one step closer to a total rewrite.
