Nah, the patches I sent got applied, I just haven't messed with it in the past 
couple years.  So you don't need my signed-off-by, but I'm happy to give you 
an:

This was actually a series of five patches in the busybox repository, with 
descriptions.  Unfortunately, they recently converted the repository to git.  
Here are the big not remotely human readable git commit tags:

2425bdce34cd142b29eabad00927a9c473b05ecb
45aebfd32d30de492c6c714cd5b6a08ae4a53867

cf575ca8561c53ef8299e9efcebb9dce96de2ff0

And the repository's at git://busybox.net/busybox.git

P.S.  I'd attach the 5 patch+descriptions, but I just spent fifteen minutes 
fighting with git to try to convince "git log -p" that when I list a specific 
commit on the command line I want it to spit out the description and patch for 
JUST THAT ONE COMMIT and not log the history back to Grace Hopper's graduation 
ceremony, and I ran out of interest before git ran out of ways to have a 
horrible user interface and man pages written by Tolstoy.  The man page for 
git-log is 1047 lines long, describing in horrific detail things I don't want 
it to do.  I gave up reading it about the point it started describing "parent 
rewriting", and went to google instead.  Google for "git log single patch" 
implies I should have a command named git-format-patch, which Xubuntu didn't 
install when I asked for git-core, and which I'm not hunting down right now...
