OK, yesterday I was taking a look to the patch module. then, I went home.
Today, I'll continue to look at these properties of alpha. because, yes,
that's what's happening. one have alpha .5 and the other, 1.
Answering Mike's question: the first system (the one I've wrote the code) is
ubuntu 9.04, the other (with a newer version) is ubuntu server 8.04
LTS.Doesn't make any difference.
