How much did I bitch in these years while the patch
was lying around? URL please.

In case you did not notice, I want to code.
I want to help MC to improve and sligtly more
than glacial pace.

April 2008. Whole SIX mails during a month?
October. Twelve mails. Yeah. That's the spark of activity.

Most people *ignored your list* as nothing was happening here.

Read my mail again. I did explain how to see the bug in action,
it's quite trivial.
