Certainly wasn't trying to circumvent process, just haven't done any backports for the net tree before :) Actually, looking at the log again now, I see that I got my versions mixed up, and the backport patch is also needed for 5.0... so I guess I'll just (re-)submit that to Dave to put into his stable queue... -Toke
