Wow, this is amazingly new!  Although, absent the DLL involvement, I do seem 
to recall some worms that did something similar.

Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre
   business.  The natural condition is one of insurmountable
   obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Fennyman: So what do we do?
Henslowe: Nothing.  Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Fennyman: How?
Henslowe: I don't know.  It's a mystery.
