A technical remark regarding these two patches:

These are your patches, not mine.

You can note formally or informally that I reported/forwarded these 
issues, but I'm neither in a legal sense the author of these patches nor
am I in a technical sense responsible for their correctness [1], and a 
From: tag is therefore not appropriate.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
