Patch to revive tmpfiles

Re: bug (filelist) for platforms solaris and darwin (macosx) and *not* linuxi386

Hello, I wrote this report one and a half weeks ago. There is a bug in the "flist"-module, which can consistently reproduced on at most two Unix-Platforms: Solaris 9 and MacOS X. Can anybody help me with the email-address of the developer of the flist-module, so I can contact him/her directly?
