Ahhh, I think I somehow reinvented Charles tilde trick in my previous
mail and now I for sure remember that you previousely told me about
exactly this. So I think the original patch is safe against the
argument given by Dirk in his original response today (and just forget
about my solution which is not as good as Charles' original code).
Kind regards
Andreas.
