  While I agree in principle, unfortunately, IBM's policy (guilty until
proven innocent - i.e. it's billable unless you can prove beyond a shadow
of a doubt that it's IBM's fault) on API tech support (and sometimes the
complexity of coding them in the first place) often makes this option less
than desirable.
