Well, we don't guarantee such compatibility in general, so I'd like to make it clear that people shouldn't expect this combination to work, and if more complex patches are submitted, we'll likely NOT integrate them. The init.c change is clearly already on the edge of kludgy changes and is NOT ok as is, it requires a clear comments explaining why it's there. OK with the comment changes. Arno
