Well, cleanup is always a pretty fine argument.  Since there only seem to 
be two of us loadlin users, you probably didn't loose much argument wise 
;-)  The other loadlin user reported failure at .38, so maybe your patch is 
needed sometimes even with loadlin-1.6c.  (other loadlin user listening?)
