Thanks for writing. Merging with a related report. If you can find a way to fix this (either the limitation or the message) without increasing dash's compiled code size too much, upstream will probably be happy. ;-) http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/dash/ has more details about how to reach upstream, find patches and discussion for other features, etc. Regards, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
