Thanks. That makes sense I suppose.

Better to say if someone wants to detect it and stop they can,

  than to say they must start it again when they really wanted it to 
wrap around

  which might cause a glitch. In other words, out of the box it would 
suit say,

  a day-or-two-long loop security recorder without glitching, I imagine.
