I was further confused by the fact that it hadn't made its way into any of the 19-gitX sets (and for that matter, the window for 2.6.20-rc1 has come and gone and this still remains unfixed), despite how clear the error was and how trivial the fix seems. -Mike On 12/14/06, Uli Kunitz wrote: > Michael, > > I sent a patch to this list on Sunday, that patched the problem.
