Thanks.

I fixed my copy.

Best to use an explicit From: line at top-of-changelog when using ocfs2-devel.

The ocfs2-devel list software is the worst thing since windows 95.
Does all sorts of weird stuff. Often patches which are cc:me simply
aren't on the list and weren't delivered to me. I have to hope like hell
that someone cc'ed a vger list.
