I don't have cvs write access so I am relying on someone with write 
access to submit it.

I submitted a bug report a couple of weeks ago (with the patch 
included), I'm not sure what the turnaround time for someone to look at 
it will be.

I believe it to be a clean solution but I guess its up to someone else 
to decide that.
