Why?  Not saying it's wrong, but I'd like a bit more of an explanation, 
since I don't know what this does, and would like to be able to check 
the correctness by just looking at the patch, without having to read 
whole man pages. :)

What was wrong, and in what sense does this patch fix it?

Thanks,

Alex
