Oh wait, I mispoke... there is another formulation of the patch that hasn't yet been posted for review. Instead of having the nopagedone hook, it turns the entire do_no_page into a hook, per hch's suggestion, but leaves in the ->nopage hook, which makes the patch small and obviously right. I need to post that version for comparison, please bear with me. IMHO, it's nicer than the ->nopagedone form. Regards, Daniel
