David,

I don't mind...I just don't want the fixes you make there get lost.
Please either post the fixes to the list or sign-up a maintainer (like
myself) to merge fixes into the 2.4.0-test6 based branch ("mainline").
I'd be happy to merge the few parts I understand/have clue about for you.

thanks,
grant
