No, again you're assuming that 3DPAtch does something wrong.

Are you suggesting that patching a piece of software, at run time,
with no real knowledge of that software's internal workings and

No. I do wish folk would read what I've written and not what they
think I've written.

Perhaps you should write what you think, rather than something that's
vaguer, then?

I did write what I think. Doesn't help when you snip what is entirely
logical and describe it quite insultingly.

<snip desperate grasping for logic to say that something entirely
illegal in software engineering terms is completely legitimate and

I'll say again: No, I'm not claiming the patch is "strictly perfectly
legal and legitimate" but that doesn't mean that it is the cause of the
problem, any more than, if I crashed my car into another, the fact of
the other being unlicensed and uninsured would mean that the accident
was the fault of the other driver.

Sheesh! It's not rocket philosophy!
