Minor correction. I fixed two bugs reported by Dave Jones (found with
his trinity test) and Dan Carpenter through static analysis. The other
I found while debugging the first two. Credit where credit is due.

Hm, from the wording of the changelogs I thought you were
running those tests. Please put such bug reporting info into the
changelog and/or add a Reported-by tag next time around -
testers are our most valuable contributors.

Thanks,

Ingo

I see the attribution of the testing I left only in the cover letter, my
apologies, sloppy of me.

I had followed Dave's request that I mention trinity and CC him on bugs
found with trinity - but looking at that patch now, it doesn't attribute
that well enough.

I'll correct this in the future.
