That's amazing; thanks for the quick update; would you be so kind as to 
provide a very quick HowTo in order to get this implemented...my guess is 
something like this:

- download the source of 2.0.4
- merge the patch (but I'm a bit vague on this point - unless you've merged 
it already)
- compile it (also a bit vague on updating an existing implementation and 
doing make install or whatever)
- test

cheers
