Thanks a lot to you for the biggest effort you did in testing and benchmarking the patch and to pho@ who did first stability tests on the first revision of the patch. These credits should be however shared completely with John who did an excellent job of revision on the code and in particulary for the challenging discussions we had during the time of sx rewriting. I think I learned a lot by his incredible way of coding. Attilio -- Peace can only be achieved by understanding - A. Einstein
