Nah, I never did Mac development ;-) IIRC, this change originally came from maclinux CVS (which predates Linux/m68k CVS by several years) via email. If you wait a few hours, the original author probably will start yelling ;-) Alternatively, I can dig up my email archives from before 2000 to identify him....
