Like you, I volunteer to code Open Source.  In my case 60 hours/week
with zero pay.  No need to rub into my face that you don't get paid.
As I said before, I am not doing this for myself.  There also wasn't
any hurry (except the deadline of the release of kernel 2.6 imho,
for which this better had be fixed) - I just wanted to know if someone
was looking into it.

Thanks for the patch.  I couldn't have wished a better reply ;).
