       With the patch I just sent, that size issue should be resolved.
       
    I really apprecite that you've done this work Greg.
    Thank you.

       I would love to implement it in such a manner.  Without using
       self-modifying code, do you have any ideas of how this could be done?
       
    Yes, I agree it's a difficult problem.
    
    My main point is, don't compare the security bloat to USB, because in
    the USB case if I don't use it I get no space/time consumption even if
    I have it enabled (as a module).  This is not true for the security
    bits.
