Thanks for the proposal, but in all honestly I don't think it's worth our time, as there's no easy way to test. If someone complains about the current behavior, I'll investigate, but for now I say we just leave the code as is. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
