That, plus a few other nits here and there... But I have a few patches here to fix the issue for us. It may even be possible to shape them for upstream... > It looks like it will take a little longer to make progress on this, > and I'm not sure when I'll have time again.

As I am also working on this, if you just posted your changes (on the list on in a public git tree), I can incorporate your changes I am missing, and submit those. Regards, Yann E.
