LOL - of course not.  In the IPC case, it's even less likely
or the archive writing and reading to get "out of sync" -
but it's just the same original complaint in a slightly
different wrapper.  I brought up the issue of old archives
as the only realistic scenario that occured to me
where the situation could occur. That's all.
