I'd missed it, sorry.

The patch is ok, but it's not in yet because the format of the
ChangeLog entries will require manual application in every one of the
files, and that takes time.  If you'd repost the patch in a format
that enables it to be installed with say cl2patch, or even with the
raw ChangeLog diffs such that I use clcleanup and cl2patch to apply it
to the current tree, I'll check it in when the mainline policy allows
it.

Thanks,
