Also, Roberto Mello has offered to handle patches from folks, testing them and committing them to the tree. I was doing this informally for awhile, but I'm a bit busy. Dan has too and may still want to. Roberto's always, and officially, available to broker patches into the tree.
So ... I agree with Dan that posting into the SDM is probably uneccessary if you have a patch available. Post information here and e-mail Roberto a diff-generated patch and it should get into the tree.
