Perhaps they used line-A instead? There can't be THAT many line-F traps --
certainly not enough that you couldn't use A100 and up instead (assuming that
the documented line-A calls are the only ones that are used; but even if there
are undocumented calls, I find it hard to imagine there being enough of them
to stop this from working...) That seems like a nice clean solution to the
problem to me.

These are my opinions, and in no way reflect those of UCSC, which are wrong.
