Heh, well, I know I'm known to drop patches (including my own) from time
to time, but give me some time before resending them. However, when you
do it needs a From: at the top with the correct authorship and a signoff
chain (which I made difficult by not putting a signoff on the original
test patch, I grant).  We'd also usually add reported-by and tested-by
in this instance, too.

Thanks,

James
