Flim. I forgot as I was so much in 'CVE' mode. I usually do that quite
religiously.
CCing -done now (and in case that is 'too global', my bad once more -- please
tweak at the BTS to your liking as I will consider this now taken care of).

My pleasure. It was a breeze given the excellent pointers you provided,
particularly to the better upstream fix.
Cheers, Dirk
