I would have sent them along in my original post, but I didn't see
anything in the FAQ as to how they should be generated. I should also mention
that the patches are currently untested, since I don't yet have a way to
rebuild IPF and/or test it. (I'm working on putting together a development
system.) I was only really interested in fixing the last few points I listed;
the first point came about as I was perusing the source code, and noted a few
lines out of order. I would like to wait until I have tested the patches
before I send them out. In the mean time, if you can offer the best mechanism
for generating them, please pass it along. (I recommend that this mechanism
be added to the FAQ.)
