Wonderful. If you could, would you submit the patch to gcc- patches... I suspect it is better than nothing, and it might be trivial enough to go in without paperwork. Additionally, it might provide a basis for another contributor to build upon, as they then only have to do half the work.

We prefer to have a bug report for each bug... :-)
