Nevertheless, going back to rev. 1.559 of b.p.m. restores correct
behavior.  Quite ironically, since commit logs tells us that "The end
user impact of this is more blue screens." for rev. 1.560, which I tend
to blame now.

I also don't think that we can simply tell our users to user portmaster
or some force-config switches.  This bug is quite annoying, and should
be fixed to work in vanilla environment environment with default
settings.
