   I thought we were talking about the standard "This incident will be   
   reported" message.  That's just a joke option that should be (and in   
   Debian is) disabled by default so that people with a certain sense of   
   humor can enable it for, as they would say, "shits and grins".  Nothing   
   to see here.
