Hi, We shouldn't diverge from upstream in this kind of behaviour, so marking this as wontfix (just 8 years later ;-) ). Feel free to ask for this upstream at net...@vger.kernel.org but I strongly suspect such a change would be considered backward incompatible, since it would probably break all the nasty screen- scraping systems out there, so it's not likely to happen. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
