Let me doubt in last statement - up to now, I not seen (much) reports
about similar problems, caused by usage of QB-compiled programs. So, even
all class of these applications isn't on "top ten DOS applications".

Well, I wholeheartedly agreed, that this should be fixed. But,
unfortunately, there currently are not one kernel tree (there much of them)
and there are no currently (active) maintainer, which will commit changes in
CVS. This is main reason, why I think, that this change should be delayed
after 1.0, when we calmly may normalize situation with a lot of forks and
add this patch.

Let me again disagree with word "popular".
