2.4.1ac18 and loop-4 doesn't mix at all well, it didn't even compile ( understandably (sp?) if we think that a large hunk of loop.c is rejected, and by studing the reject it seem to me that the original version and loop-4 are going in differend directions :( ). So, lacking the skills to fix-it myself I'll try a new INNOVATIVE approach: "Begging the Developers (TM:)" that was reported to give excelent results in the past: " Can I have my lil'ol loop FS back, plizzzz, plizzzz, I need it badly but also I need the other improvements in ac18, I know you are busy with other important things, but pleeez ( innocent look :)" And it remains to see if once again this method gives results ;)))).
