You should never use the -release flag. It should be renamed to 
"-enable-security-holes" since that's what it actually does.

Instead you can disable specific things as-needed, but.... it is 
probably never needed. These are also never supposed to actually 
change the behavior of your program, but in reality, like I said 
they do tend to change it - by enabling security holes.
