Have been away, seeing the message now.
I am willing to test the patch.
The patch does not look as I would expect, perhaps I am not understanding it (just read it, not applied).

But I have a job, with urgencies that won't allow free time for one or two weeks.

Be patient, if you decide to wait for me to test the patch.

Bye
