Untrue. Proof: My patch makes it operate more smoothly on Linux.

Look who's talking, and what. Personal infringements? If you're

I am absolutely serious about the patch and about my recent findings
after looking at libscg.

I just don't want my name tainted with accidents that happen during

RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was enough of an effort, my first patch would've worked,
too, hence the GPL.

concerns, you'd probably have had libscg use a unified ATA:/SCSI:
namespace in Linux for 1½ years. OK, spilled milk.
