The patch looks ok. However, two things...

(1) can you re-send that patch as an attachment (not as an inline  
text)? (I have been struggling with extracting inline patches from  
mail bodies in the past with a lot of hassle on my side, so I am  
prophylactically asking without even having tried to apply your  
sent-in (inline-text) patch).

(2) I am tempted to merge that patch into patch 320. Would that be ok  
with you?

Mike
