Thanks for the heads-up. I installed the attached patches into the development 
version. The first one is your patch, but with a slightly altered commit 
message. The second adds a NEWS item about the change, and alters the spelling 
of your name to be what I hope is the proper one since the source code allows 
UTF-8 in comments. (If you prefer the Anglicized spelling, please let me know.)
