launchd wrong behavior for nonexistent paths and crashed services

Hello all,

launchd tries to restart indefinitely some service in
the following two cases:

1) launchd plist with wrong ProgramArguments key

"
Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
posix_spawnp("<ProgramArguments>", ...): No such file
or directory
"

The problem is very annoying if some other application
waits for this service to start.

2) a service keeps crashing

CrashReporter never shows even if I have the
CrashReporterPrefs on "Developer" level. It is true
that it says:  "Display the Unexpectedly Quit dialog
for all the processes run by the user".

Mac OS X 10.4 had a limit
(LAUNCHD_FAILED_EXITS_THRESHOLD). What was the reason
to remove it ?
