Sorry, I am behind in my email.
There was a couple weeks in between sending the bug report and the patch
so I forgot about it. Also I send those bug reports from a different
system so I don't check that as part of the QC process. I'm moving to
checking vger instead of grepping my outbox but I haven't automated that
yet.
I don't get a "hwval" warning on my system so using the cross function
DB must have silenced the false positive.
