Hi Karl, you keep surprising me. Thanks!

Karl, I waited to answer you in the hope of getting the paperwork...
Still nothing here...  I don't know if the FSF already registered my
copyright assignment request, they have my signature, though.

About the patch, your help is priceless, Karl. I have no trouble to
attach an amended patch, what pressures me is to give you the right
credits!  In these days I was thinking how you make me look smarter
than I really am...

Do as you feel, Karl.  The attached patch is my attempt to give you
credit, but you are free to do a follow-up commit, if you prefer.

Best regards,
Matthew
