[patch/rfc] Disable [eE] packets by default

Hello,

This is a followup to the current discussion regarding the [Ee] packets. 
  It disables them by default.

While it is a brutal solution to a problem, it is also 6 days before 5.2 
branches.  It also clears the slate for another attempt at this.

Thoughts?
Andrew

PS: There is no doco patch.  This packet was never documented.  Sigh :-(

	``E'' step out-of-range packets.
