OK, I wasn't clear: the sorcery doesn't complain *on cast*. I don't remember
sorcery having a setting that completely ignores checksum and doesn't even
produce a warning if it's wrong, I think we never do such a thing. So, I
couldn't have disabled checksum warning entirely, right? I haven't see sorcery
code for a while, so I'd appreciate a pointer on where to look for checksum
calculation and comparison code.
Thanks!

Sergey.
