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