Serge,

It's exactly what I meant before, the tracking facility would be awfully
complicated. It cannot be done that way.
But there's also something awkward with the flag thing : can you provide
right now an exhaustive list of all the places where you must raise it ?

I'd rather do some heavy checking at checkpoint time.

Greg.
