I'm on vacation this week but will be back next week.  I'll take a
look once I'm back.

In the meantime, for emails sent to public (techie) list always keep
the lines less than 80 characters and always bottom-post (i.e., put
your text *underneath* the text that you are responding to).  Also,
when you change one or more patches in a series, re-submit the entire
series with the version number incremented (.e.g., v2, v3, ...) even
when you change only one of them.  It is a easier for others to know
what the latest versions are that way.

Thanks,

Mark
