I always reply with more details after my analysis (which is a manual
process).  Unfortunately, due to hick-ups with vger and lore, none of
the emails I sent out yesterday using git-send-email made it to the
lists before last night, so I didn't have anything to reply to until
this morning...

Today, the email issues seem to have been fixed (although I still
haven't received the report myself, but at least lore now has it),
so the analysis is there.

And FTR, I sent out a fix for the section mismatch yesterday, and
Andrew has already picked it up.

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
