GOMF doesn't change anything. It does let you "recover" from otherwise
dead end situations, however it is more useful as a tool to find out just
why you want to reboot after a GURU. Use it, it works, I guarantee you that
if you have to use it a lot (like during program development) you will be
sorry you did. Simply because it works enough times that you will come to 
depend on it and then it will fail and you will be _really_ pissed.
