Ah, I am guessing you are a CSSU user?

In fact, I chose to design Pierogi as a landscape-only app, precisely for the reason you specified. Pierogi has been "hard-coded" to work only in landscape mode from the very beginning. However, there is a "forcerotation" option in CSSU that enables portrait mode for all apps, whether they want it or not. To stop this from happening, you'll either have to turn "forcerotation" off, or manually add Pierogi's name to the blacklist.
