So it does not work on Sarge, you can test it. Ubuntu 5.10 and Sarge are deeply
different we cannot assume that something working on Ubuntu has to work on
Sarge.
I never planed to support Ubuntu and i still do not plan to support it.

BTW, if i have to justify each lines of code, i stop my developments.
I work on OOD on my free time, i do not want to spend  then hours in email to
justify everything.
