However, in this case I tried to balance new development with bug fixing to prevent a lot of double work (and failed to do so). --- Gertjan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
