Well; time for the stab that a higher programming language using exceptions 
etc you would not have been in this state in the first place.
This makes the discussion a lot clearer and basically makes me aware that 
you make design decisions not entirely based on good structuring.

I'm not attacking anyone here; Just don't say that tla is a very stable 
technlogy like I heard someone say a couple of days ago.
After you learned to program using things like exceptions (that is; not 
trusting data to always take the perfect path), then you are qualified to 
say your tech can be regarderd as mature.  c programmers by default are 
not.
Let me repeat; I'm not attacking anyone.
