Thanks for your effort! I'm glad it works :)

I filed a PR for this:

I actually got an email from the FSF today, saying the letter is on
its way, which is good. It also contained a chunk of
nigh-incomprehensible legalspeak about my employer etc. etc., which is
less good. Why, *of course*, our university's vice-chancellor is going
to sign random disclaimers right away! </vent>
Problem is that I will be abroad for two weeks, starting on Tuesday,
so the letter will probably miss me just by a few days and things will
take yet another bit longer.

Talking of PRs and committing: I still don't seem to have got the
knack of Bugzilla. I could not find an option to assign myself to the
PR or to change its status. Do I need additional priviliges or is this
something I am not supposed to be doing anyway? Also some people seem
to manage bugzilla by sending it emails, but I could not figure out
how to do that. Could someone please show me the ropes with bugzilla?

Thanks everyone for your reviewing, comments and suggestions!
