Oh no!! A *whole* week! Say it ain't so!!
Dude. With an attitude like that, I'd never get any of my own
patches into the parts of GCC that I'm not a maintainer of - which
is basically all of GCC except fortran. I've got 6 or 7 patches
pending now that nobody has even *looked* at yet, let alone approve
them or commit them.

Actually I just read your mail that you don't have CVS write access,
which you should have when you plan to post more patches. You can
ask for it on sources.redhat.com, and mention me as your "sponsor".
And I've just applied your patches for UMASK etc. and I'm about to
commit them.
