Hi,

I re-checked your patch today on top of a 4.1.29 and I'm very sorry
to say it actually does fix the problem despite what I wrote a few days 
ago.

I don't know why I saw the problem while I was sure I had that patch
applied. Maybe I mixed up the builds. Should have double checked it.

So, if that patch would appear in the next 4.1.y, that would be great.

talking about that patch:

(as gmame is down atm)

thanks,

   Thomas
