The behavior seems like an improvement to me, but I'm not likely to keep a local patch in the ports tree for something like this unless it's been committed upstream. My recommendation would be to submit it to Zhihao Yuan's upstream GitHub repo. Once it's been committed there, let me know and I'll either commit the patch to ports or update to a newer source code snapshot. As for the original patch from your bugs@ thread, it's only been three days, and sometimes it takes some time, or (unfortunately) a reminder or two, for a developer to review it. I encourage you to send the patch to tech@, where it's likely to draw more attention, and send a followup reminder if it hasn't received comments in over a week. -- Anthony J. Bentley
