Your commit cb828372 looks good, thanks!

The following is certainly not a big deal, just mentioning it because
chances are this may not have been the last time i contributed
something to your project.

In commit histories, release notes and the like, i prefer being
credited as Ingo Schwarze <schwarze@openbsd.org> rathen than
<schwarze@usta.de>.  The reason is that in a hundred years from
now, i expect people will still know what openbsd.org is, but it
seems rather unlikely they would still know what usta.de was.

You may wonder why i rarely use @openbsd.org in my From: headers.
The reason is that i want to avoid the wrong impression that all my
mails were official statements of the OpenBSD project.  While many
opinions i voice might also be shared by some other OpenBSD developers,
some clearly are not.  And disclaimers in a signature are annoying.
There is less risk that people think i'm speaking for the UStA of
the University of Karlsruhe.  :-)

Probably i should try to remember saying "if you credit me,
please use this address: ..." when a commit is obviously imminent.
I often forget because the vast majority of messages that credit me
are inside OpenBSD, and there it goes without saying.

Yours,
  Ingo
