Hi Phil: That is excellent news indeed. I suggest you create a patch with git format-patch and send it to this list via an attachment rather than dealing with just those individuals that express an interest. That is the way that new development is often shared on both the wine-devel and cmake-devel mailing lists now, and presumably for many other mailing lists as well (e.g., the Intel development graphics mailing list when I was lurking there.) Then anyone who is interested can use git am on their own private topic branch created especially for the purpose to see exactly what you have done. For example, I could take a look with valgrind and gdb to see if I can discover the source of the hang issues you have discovered on Linux. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
