Hi Andrew,

thanks for the answer and help in submitting my first patch.

I have one question regarding your comment on which I couldn't find any
answer in the internet: should I post the patch with corrected subject
and added "fixes" line as an reply to this conversation or it is better
to submit it as a new patch?


Best regards,

Kornel
