Several times, I have done just this - it's partially that it's easy
to forget to hack up _MTN/options or specify a -b option to ci, and
partially that if you _have_ hacked up _MTN/options, there are lots of
commands that will go and reset it.  It's also annoying that there is
no db kill_cert_locally with which to fix the error after you have
made it; I have had to work out how to do it with db execute each time
it happened.  (Maybe "local_undo_commit" would be better.)
