I meant that it's unlikely that the bug will actually be fixed unless there's a patch, as there's no way to force the maintainer to do the work. [And really, if it's a big enough deal to bother the -ctte about it, someone should be convinced enough to bother to write the patch.] Don Armstrong -- The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair. -- Douglas Adams _Mostly Harmless_ http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
