Sure, I shall split the patch. Joel also suggested splitting the patch
and I was probably wrong to think that the patch was simple to be a
single patch :-).
Since equation (3) has theoretical backing, I am perfectly fine with
using it for our fix. Will have 2 patches as you suggested.
Will get the v3 out soon..
