The problem is *knowing* that it fails.  I've had a number of occasions
helping people debug deep and mysterious zope "bugs" that turned out
to be reload caused.  It works most of the time and people get lulled
into a false sense of security.  When it fails, they tend to blame
something else and waste lots of time trying to figure out what it is.
