Hello Tim,
Yes, upstream author "hpa" (H. Peter Anvin) happened to be on
#etherboot, and he asked me to post the patch on klibc mailing list:
http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2008-May/002288.html
However, someone dislikes the way I wrote it, saying it is "if
speghetti code". (That's kind of how dmesg.c in util-linux does it
though...)
http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2008-May/002290.html
And the marvellous hpa promptly came up with something better, an
easier-to-follow "state-machine-like approach":
http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/klibc/2008-May/002289.html
So yes, I'm very happy that hpa is so responsive, and I'm also very
glad that you've already dealt with this issue in Ubuntu too. Many
thanks, Tim and Steve! :-)
Anthony
