Rusell, I am very sorry about: sending e-mail without patch,
sending from an old mail address and calling you "Rusty".

The last version of the patch is attached. Please Ack it if it is OK

Andrew, please hold on a little bit to get the Ack from Russel.

Thank you all for your support and patience!
