I've had this in as a _polite_ request to Kern for a couple of weeks, and 
there's a feature request filed for it.

After that, I have a choice of waiting until someone has time to work on 
it, or doing it myself. Either way, it will take a while before it appears 
in the main source tree, simply because while it's only a 2 line patch, 
any changes to a project as system critical as bacula need to undergo full 
regression testing.

In any case it is _unlikely_ that it will make any appearance in 1.38 at 
all unless someone backports it.

My coding skills are lousy. I'm prepared to wait.

Jo needs to learn to do that too. There are items more showstopping than 
ambiguous error messages which need to be dealt with (Getting confused 
about where tapes are loaded causes jobs to abort and I classify that as a 
showstopper even though it takes some human provokation to generate the 
problem.) and even with the (minor) bugs, Bacula is one of the best pieces 
of backup software available.
