Dear Martin I believe you are exaggerating. Yes, there is quite a bit of overlap between the patches you linked to and the ones I sent, but I honestly only saw your work after checking your links. I immediately acknowledged that the overflow checking was based on Otto's code (but it wasn't copied). But you are going a step further and you are accusing me of plagiarism, which I am not ready to admit, because I didn't do it. The first of your links has nothing to do with what I mailed besides being a related change to the same file and the second is mostly a more or less mechanical expansion (and you removed a number of casts, which I didn't do). I am sorry to have offended you, and I merely tried to help improve the code base, that's all. I never intended to sell any work of others as my own. Cheers, Theo
