I thought since that the if-condition is double checked (from the while clause) so I removed it. Also this lead me to see that since the while clause is now unconditioned, there is no point of it being replicated exactly the same above, so I removed that too. =( I'm trying to find other inefficiencies/irregularities on that function. I'm currently thinking on merging the first checks with a call to iswspace() or something similar. Also thanks for clarifying the way patches/mails work. Cheers. --- papanikge's surrogate email.
