Steve,
I understand what you says, but considering that:
- I submitted that patch to the mantainer several months ago (last time
in October) and I didn't got any response from him
- The same seems to be happening for you
- Someone told me that Klaus-Peter has no more much interest on
developing this driver (and of course he has all the rights to do so!)
- The (single lined) patch has been provided by one of the debuggers
(first one cited on the readme file, please check), telling me that in
his opinion, since that line changed on the latest release, it was an
error: it was like in the patched state in the previous releases
- He seems to know the code better than you and me

I still think you should apply it.

That said, you are the mantainer and I'll be happy with your decision.

(And please excuse my bad English)

Bye,
Alex
