Hey, Interestingly it looks like this has been happening already. Maybe the hackers got a winding of your request before you even wrote the mail ;-). I see this happenning in most mails that has been sent to the list except a few cases where the patches are so trivial its not worth reading for knowledge anyway. Ofcourse a fairly lengthy prognosis on the patch is rather boring to do and probably not even worthwhile. Its a logical ask but really why *beg* for something already happening :-) Cheers, Shreyas On Wed, 2005-08-24 at 14:09 +0200, guenther wrote: > Hey bug hunters and exterminators, > > Please, oh please, can you do me and everyone else a favor?
