First of all, Im sorry I started this. It was a genuine error on my side, to assume I stumbled on a bug, while it is in fact a hotly debated 'feature'. I did google for it, but must have missed it, it would have saved my weekend. I didn't want to (re)start a religious war. Maybe we should let it rest for a bit, until we have something to discuss about. Right now, I've have the idea that people are talking about slightly different things. > What I think David fails to realize is that in the real world, people > use the hidden patch on a regular basis.

It works fine for me and I don't see any problems. But I do not oversee the whole picture, and I don't think anybody fully understands the other camp's objections. David, I hope that you will explain your side of the story, or maybe point to a webpage where it is explained clearly. I still have no idea as to what your objections are, other than that in the past, another choice was made to do things.
