It means these programs are not robust and are fragile like crystal glass. 
The xml configuration session.conf was well-formed but contained a tag that 
was not recognized because it was added recently. In this case, the daemon 
shall print a warning and shall not abort. 
At the moment, it's too easy to screw up whole system.
