Trust us. They are matched pairs. They *may* work when they
are not matched but there are definitely combinations where you
don't want to try it.
e.g.
mismatched version have been known to result in named-xfer
trying to close all 2 billion file descriptors before doing anything
else. This takes significant time:-)
On top of this the arguement list has expanded over the years and
those new arguements get used.
