[PD] Inconsistent creation in some objects

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

There are other objects that do that, but its best to not hve it that  
way, IMHO.  IOhannes suggested fixing this on the internal side, but I  
think its OK to handle it in the external itself.  If you make a  
patch, submit it to the patch tracker.
