RTS flag decoding broken
Some misguided security paranoia seems to have turned off a lot of the flag decoding done by the RTS, unless the program is compile with -rtsopts. This is very annoying, because for 99% of the use cases you want the flag decoding on. You should cater for the common case, not the uncommon case. So my suggestion is to make -rtsopts the default, and have a flag to turn it off.
