Hi Bean, and thanks for the patch.  Unfortunately, the patch is malformed
in at least two places and also has whitespace corruption.  I did my best
to edit the patch by hand until it seemed to apply okay, but I don't trust
my results.

I have this same patch corruption problem with many of your posts.  Can
you change the way you attach patches somehow?  Maybe change email client?
Anyone else have a suggestion?

Bean, can you download your own patch from the mailing list and see if it
will apply to your own code?

Thanks!
