Hum, unfortunately my tester for the GITM interface has disappeared, so I'm not 100% sure that the code is correct. I'll probably send a CFT on the list and see what happens. I'd like to see it upstream anyway instead of letting it rot on my HD though. Jean, how does the process work now? Are you still picking up stray patches on the list? Luca
