I hit you on this one as you are starting to do this more and more often. I can sight more of these if you like, but a) you wasted far more time doing this reply than it would have taken to write a proper commit message and b) I don't feel like wasting my time showing that your frequency of very breif commit messages has increased over the last few weeks. These log messages go out to the user base, it is important to keep them informed as to what the ``bug fixes'' are so they don't report a bug we have already commited the fix for! -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
