Oliver,

I finally got a chance to look at these patches and they seem fine to
me.  I am willing to commit them as is if there are no other objections.
 One minor note.  I don't know if this was intentional or not but please
use normal sentence punctuation in dialog messages.  You managed to
remove some of the previously valid punctuation.

Cheers,

Wayne
