As was already said, thanks for your contribution! I noticed in your patch that you also did "whitespace normalization" of the file before diffing it. This is generally not a good idea -- it distracts the reader of the patch from the actual bug the patch is fixing. In your case, 4 out of 6 patch chunks were spurious. We do like to keep our whitespace normalized, but as a rule we only do this in patches that don't make otherwise significant changes, so that the semantic changes are separate from the cleanups.

Thanks for this note, i'll keep that in mind next time.

Ruslan
