I think the main idea of fixing the problem plus testing is Eric's only
credit and I've only proposed some change in placement of cosmetic value.

So, Eric, considering all massive work you've done with rather feeble
support, please, fix the comment and sign this patch (at least I'm not
going to).

I also please Andrew to change the assignement of this patch in -mm.

Thanks & regards,
Jarek P.
