There is no opinion involved.  Maybe the word "correct" had a wrong
connotation, but what I needed to find out was a true provenance of
the change, as that is what the S-o-b chain records.  I did not
know, and I needed to find out, if the patch in question was what
you came up independently without looking at Duy's patch (which is
very understandable as you two were going back and forth digging the
issue on the list), or you submitted his patch after tidying it up.

It appears from your description below that it was an independent
work, so that is what I'll queue.

Thanks.
