Thanks much for the patch!  I've pushed it and closed the
bug.

Let me be real clear here---we'll take what we can get as
far as patch format etc. :-)  That said, things that will
help us out if you feel so moved:

  * Use git-format-patch to, well, format your patch.  This
    makes it easier for us to apply and warns you about some
    common errors.  (Your patch had some trailing whitespace
    in a comment, which I went ahead and applied because,
    well, I didn't really care that much. :-) I did manually
    set the author information so that you were properly
    credited, but git-format-patch does this automagically.)

  * ASCII emails are much easier for me to work with.

  * Go ahead and email your patch to the list as well as
    submitting to the bug tracking system.  This makes it
    quicker for us to review.

Again, thanks much for the patch!

	Bart
