The reason why your first message did not arrive at the mailing list was 
because you only sent it to me, personally.  Such mails get ignored for 
reasons laid out at [1].  Please be more careful in future :-)

Thank you.

1 Will this amendment eventually be incorporated into an updated .bz2
file under /release?


Assuming it works and doesn't break anything else, yes.


2 If not then (I am sorry) I do not know how to introduce a patch into
an existing executable.
Something like: unwrap src, change os/utils.c, rebuild?
If this is something everybody in the world except me knows, can you
direct me to a howto?

No, it's obviously only going to be fixed in CVS, just to tease you. ;)
