Hi Magnus, 

thanks for looking at my change.

Thanks for forwarding to the proper list. I'm often not sure what's the right 
one,
and sometimes it's ambiguous anyways. Like this one, which concerns stack 
overflow
handling. The same problem exists with all the categories of the Jira bugs.

Best regards,
 Goetz.
