Warning: Declarative workflows created in SharePoint Designer 2007 will silently fail with MOSS SP1

If you have installed SP1 of WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007, declarative workflows will not start if you log in as the system account. The fix is here:

I would at least hope for an entry in the Event Log or SharePoint Hive log files rather than a silent failure in this case!
