The latest fax was about this change, so I think this should still be
covered, shouldn't it? Ping the guy nevertheless. We should stay on
the safe side in legal questions.
I'd be happy to apply the patch, but it would be nice if you could tweak
the formatting somewhat:

The display_error call should be on its own line, as usual. This
happens multiple times in your patch.

Is that really the supposed message here?

Please split the printf so that it's not longer than 80 chars.

Since source code lines are most volatile, I'd not refer to a line number
in another source code. Just mention the function name. */

Split the line, please.

Same here.

I'd rather not have these one liners in curly brackets. It's a bit
irritating since sometimes you put them in curly brackets, sometimes you
don't.
The code looks ok, otherwise.
Thanks,
Corinna
