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..
