That is why on our latest thread about this I requested that you tested the
patch to check your bug went way.

My patch *does* correct *a* bug. I tested it myself because I could trigger the
bug easily, and after the patch the bug was gone.

I just wanted you to test if our bugs were different, or on the contrary, they
are in fact the same.

They could be the same, because in my case, the driver would hang sending
garbage to the printer. Because the printer was a dot-matrix "print what it
receives" kind of printer, it would output the garbage continously. If it were a
more "inteligent" printer it might refuse the garbage and not print anything at
all, giving the same result as if nothing was being printed.

Anyway, if the bugs are different, then yes, another patch is needed to fix
"your" bug :)

You will be the best person to do it, since you can trigger the bug, and test a
before / after scenario.
