I would at first try to be a bit more friendly. I think, it is
sufficient if one of the original authors writes an E-mail mentioning
that Carsten forgot something and explaining what.

What he did was definitely wrong but he should be given a chance to get
out of the issue without losing his face. I guess it was a mistake
(though a nasty one).

Just my two Euro-cents, Tino.
