Hi,

Actually, the problem that should be reported is with functions that
are tail-recursive for all but one or two return paths. The
probability that the function was meant to be fully tail-recursive is
then large enough to make a warning welcome.

In any case, if this is only a problem for me, then it needs no fix :-)

regards,
Vlad
