Good to hear that it works for you, too. So, one long-standing bug less. However, the real challenge could turn out to be finding a committer for RELENG_4, now that everybody is working on RELENG_5 and above. I have a number of PRs in GNATS already that are slowly rotting away since apparently nobody is willing to deal with them, even though they all have patches attached. So I stopped submitting PRs for now. Wasted time, unfortunately. Uwe -- Uwe Doering | EscapeBox - Managed On-Demand UNIX Servers gemini@geminix.org | http://www.escapebox.net
