:)

i know. i was only asking because the argument seems to be that:
- my rewrite will fix the problem too (and probably in a better way), so 
i won't apply this patch.

but this only works if the rewrite ends relatively soon. in other words, 
if the rewrite is planned to take months, then i still think it's better 
to have something that works, than to have something that does not work. 
especially if it's such an big problem.

or, alternatively would a documentation-patch that marks the depth-param 
as "DOES NOT WORK, DO NOT USE IT" have a chance to get accepted? :))

p.s: of course, malcolm is the one with commit-rights not me. i 
completely respect his decision.
