Thanks for reply, I am a bit confused though, I am not so familiar with patching and last time I've tested your patch I applied a diff file to C sources and have compiled from source. I don't remember exactly what steps this involved. Is there some step-by step explanation how to do it? and which sources I would use in this case, and which patch.
