Dave,

	These patches are broken because your mailer wrapped
them at 80 columns. I know I'm being a pain here and could fix
these by hand but I really want to teach you how to submit
*working* patches that will apply without any difficulty.

Most of the time your work gets ignored because of errors like
this, not using diff -u, not using the correct CVS, not sending
patches as separate attachments (as in this case) and I'd
just like to point out how to do this *right* so you and others
won't keep getting things ignored.

a). Use current CVS and unidiff to generate patches against.
	Just do :

	cvs diff -u >/tmp/patchfile

	to create the patch.

b). Send patches as *attachments*, not as inline code. This
preserves all line boundaries etc.

I would really like to include this work, and I know Solaris
needs it due to the disk i/o issues, so please re-submit in
a way that makes this *easy* to apply and evaluate.

Sorry (Soapbox mode off :-).

Jeremy.
