    Hmmm, I was under impression that I was fixing fasteoi flow case... Sorry 
if it broke something but it really shouldn't even have been there at all. :-/

    Well, I've told Ingo long ago that he shouldn't add that to the -rt patch 
(it's been refused from the very start but then got "restored" along with
