Or is there still more to do? This is part of the fix, and there are still things to change, yes. I'm not done with it yet, since I was unavailable for some time, and I just wanted this part to be reviewed/upstreamed before continuing, just in case I was going the wrong way. I'll be further working on this, and hope to have something at the beginning of next week. Regards, Yann E.
