<br>><br>Do we have a misunderstanding here? We are working on it. We are four,<br>and we know the problem. Admittedly, PutHuhn is working on it and the<br>other Andreas, Ossi, and me are watching and giving suggestions. So
<br>*please* either communicate with us, preferably on IRC, or refrain<br>from committing things without asking around before. It's *not* about<br>fixing two lines of code.<br>If you want to post a patch to this thread, go ahead.
