Please do; though I can't speak for others, I don't have access to any
BSD system, so I cannot check any patches there, or perhaps more
importantly, check that after making everything else play nice that it
still works on BSD. Perhaps I might put VMWare and a few gigs to good
use in this case, but there are other systems besides BSD also and I
don't think it's within any sane person (other than Monty?)'s ability
to have them all within easy access.
