I guess the real-world problem is:

Usually, I am running not just one command, but I am really in the
middle of some larger task when all this happens. And I do not want
to interrupt things because of such a message popping up.

Later on, when I might be able to go back, it's too late. I might
not even remember anymore the command I was executing when this
message popped up.

So is anybody able to fix this? -- Thanks a lot!

Roland
