I've dropped his two patches, and added yours. I've also marked them, and a number of other tty core changes, for backport to the stable tree, as it is going to be required to get this working properly for people. Especially as I think 2 different distros are going to be based on .31, so someone has to do this work. Thanks again for the patches, I really appreciate it. Hopefully it's all working properly now... > P.S.: To talk of "spinning" patches seems like a mixed metaphor.
