This was transcribed for the monitor behind me so I may have typoed an address
along the way, but hopefully it's enough to point you down the right path, if
you need more detail just let me know.
I'm compiling with your patch now, but it may take a bit before i get back to
you with answers on how it does, darn slow hardware..
