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 :-)

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

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

<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?
