Alex Just send the patch inline, or maybe put it up somewhere where people can find it more easily? If you're including a test case (great! please do!) then I can understand the problem. But maybe there's a way to encode the test case so it will work inline, but then get tested properly. And does this same issue hit under 2.4?
