We don't use asserts and to check that assumption all of the time would be a waste of resources. But, all of our filters have been written with that assumption that the incoming brigade is empty. It should be treated as an 'out' variable, but C has no way of handling that semantic. Doc patches welcomed to make it more explicit. -- justin
