I also detect a faint implicit "grrrrr!" buried in this paragraph. :-) What's the deal with these patches and us? Has someone told you they don't *like* them, or have you and your patches simply been ignored? I would certainly hope not, but sometimes during release cycles things do get dropped on the floor. Heck, I'll commit your changes myself if it turns out that nobody's looking after this (once in -current, they can always be improved if and as necessary). I'm very sorry if this hasn't been dealt with properly! Jordan
