to Jeff,

Thank you for your suggestions.
Sorry for that I'm not good at contributing to open source community.

As you said, I'm surly the author and working for Toshiba.
And I'm also allowed to set the source codes to open source
 license (BSD license) by my company.
I will soon modify the patch and send it again.

Thank you.


to Kazunori,

Thanks for checking it.

Regards,
