Hi! This is the patch updated to grub 0.95+cvs20040624-17.
I do hope that after the release of Sarge someone will finally get around to make the time to apply these few lines, or at least let me know whether there's a good reason not to do so. It's really frustrating to see new revisions of grub without this patch but still not getting the slightest bit of feedback.
