If there are no comments it means the peanut gallery is fine with it, and Greg hasn't gotten around to it yet. Please don't repost patches unless asked. You would think we would scramble around like panicked rabbits to fix the potential buffer overrun but actually we just treat it like a normal patch so it will take a bit to get merged. Greg will email you when he gets to the patches, if they are merged or if there is a problem. regards, dan carpenter
