Is there any money to pay for the forthcoming 10th birthday party for this issue?  Is the OP still alive?

I'm not sure the sarcasm helps much. What do you suggest should be done with the request? Nobody has provided a patch, so there's nothing to commit. Closing it as "won't fix" seems unreasonable, as I imagine that should a suitable patch be supplied, it would be accepted.

There's no magical means by which such a patch would appear, though. The OP clearly[1] is either not interested enough or doesn't have the skills to provide a patch, and no-one else has stepped up to do so.

Note that it's been classified as a feature request, not a bug. So there's nothing wrong, as such, with it remaining unresolved.

Paul.

[1] I say "clearly" - it may be that he could provide a patch if asked. Maybe it would be worth you contacting him to ask if the issue is still a problem for him, and whether he can assist in resolving it.
