	Yes, abort execution so the user could modify their parameter.

	I wish they'd just kept it "phoenix", but I heard the BIOS company 
wanted to sue (must be desperate for cash like SCO).  I also wonder if 
the Mozilla people did do their homework before choosing "firebird" so 
they atleast knew of another opensource project out there with the same 
name.

	Eitherway, yeah, net-www/mozilla-firebird sounds pretty good.  bit 
lengthy, but it's not the only one.  I've a feeling we'ed need a 
net-mail/mozilla-thunderbird in the future as well, just to keep 
consistency.
