I agree wholeheartedly Jordan. My self-interest in the problem has at least motivated me enough to go reading the applicable source but I've not had time lately to work on actual patches. I've got a lot of irons in the fire at the moment, especially with students being back around (I'm a sysadmin at Vanderbilt University) but when things quiet down I do intend to work on this. At the moment I sit daily in front of an SGI Indigo2 running IRIX because it's better than Linux and integrates quite well with our environment. I really want a FreeBSD workstation on my desk, so I'll likely end up writing the patches just so I can get that FreeBSD workstation integrated. But, no promises on a timeframe so if someone else wants to get started now, then by all means charge right ahead with it. -- "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
