Adam I really appreciate you're fixing up the patch for Philip, but
how in the world is he ever going to learn how to submit a patch
properly if you just do it for him?

I could have fixed it up too, but I pushed it back so that he learns
how to submit a patch correctly, and this will help him and the rest
of us in the future when he wants to submit other patches.
