Hi Mike,

Thanks for taking the time to test, and for the background info. I hadn't considered the bug tracker!

I'll see if we can get it in there :)

Cheers,

Alex

+1 on getting this incorporated.  I tested the patch and it worked

It isn't so easy to get one-off patches noticed right now, as far
as I can tell.  Sometimes, you have better luck by putting them
in the bug-tracker, and then Mark might notice them.
