I just really can't remember why and couldn't find traces of this in my inbox either :). Don't blame me for this. :) My original patching (with Christian) was done from host context, and those patches are in the list archives. As far as I remember, Ben H said he preferred patching from guest context (mostly for unspecified or "gut feeling" reasons), and then that's what you did. IIRC it was IRC conversation, which is why it wouldn't be in your inbox. Hollis Blanchard Mentor Graphics, Embedded Systems Division
