Comments on the code:
1) Your patch dynamically sets a global variable. Therefore it will
unexpectedly change postscreen behavior for other client sessions.
2) You can avoid a lot of source code changes by putting the new
code inside the DROP_SESSION macro.
3) Postscreeen never resets TODO flags, and I'm sure that there is
code that depends on this invariant. To disable tests that are
already in progress, postscreen uses SKIP flags.
