Hey, Greg, stay cool :-)
The accident happened because I had to modify Trent's patch
to make it apply correctly and I forgot to update the *copy*
of the CVS tree in which I edited the changes.
I always do a cvs update to my local CVS version before
the checkins, in fact, the small script I posted to this
list does the checking for me and won't accept the checkins
if the local version is out of sync.
