Maybe, but it runs later than my code does, so it shouldn't be effecting my code... So yeah, I really don't know.

I agree with the 'stupid hack' part (although I don't really define legal divisions as 'hacks', unless there's major technical skill involved in implementing, which isn't the case here). Technically, one of the Nokians on the bug page did say there's an informal acceptance of amongst-N900-users sharing of modified Nokia-copyrighted things. The problem is that that refers to R&D type stuff, which is great for us zealous power users trying to develop some cutting-edge feature, but isn't great for N900 end-users as a whole, who might benefit from and want a stereotypically 'power-user' feature like a root shell at boot, but who don't have the tech-savvy to R&D it and/or who don't use this forum enough to stumble upon it.

Cool, thank you. I have now voted and commented. Commented a lot, but that's just how I roll.
