That page is the archive of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, and
as such can't be changed (much less by me). I provided it because it
offers a very good technical explanation of the patch, which I didn't
want to repeat. I took the patch there almost verbatim, except for,
obviously, the exact placement of the code, and the comments; I didn't
take the latter because the person who wrote it isn't a natural
English speaker (as far as I can tell, anyway), and as such didn't
write such great comments ("such great" being a reference to the
English grammar and spelling, not their technical accuracy).

Yes, this was my motivation for porting this, too. :-)

P.S. I just sent this patch to -audit per request of rwatson.
