To avoid any misunderstandings: This wasn't in any way meant against you personally. And in this case you were right, it was the same bug. My answer was based on experiences like one during 2.6.19-rc where we had 4 bug reports for a regression with a patch available. And it turned out that one of them was for a completely different regression. That's why I prefer to get confirmations that a user actually run into the same issue, and not into something completely different with similar symptoms. > Larry cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
