Please note that this changelog entry and the execute_cmd.c aboce have an 'o' too much in the email address (it should read "carlosjosepita"). He already appears another 5 times with the right email. I would expect the question to have been raised approximately between June and September 2016, but I too was unable to find those emails. Maybe it was a direct mail, or reported on a different mailing list. Best regards
