I've received a private email complaining that I've not properly attributed
the origin of the patch.  Given a person has already lied to me about this,
I'm not sure.  When it comes to personal integrity, it's "one strike and
you're out"!

Since Eric had previously reviewed the original code, surely any such error
would have been found by him at that time.  Perhaps he made a mistake?

However, I'm happy to add a Reported-by line.  If this is an error, hopefully
somebody will correct it.
