Hey Woj, long time; yeah you picked a hell of time to re-surface. More likely nobody who knows would be bothered wasting their time wading through the present volume of bullshit infecting this once-useful list, which has been lately taken over by a gang of clueless vandals who want to use it as a Twitter replacement from their mobiles, shoving up middle fingers at those trying to restore some sanity. I've about had enough. Excuse the rant .. re your question, I don't know myself but suspect you'd likely get a grown-up sort of response in stable@ where this sort of issue has been popping up a fair bit lately. cheers, Ian
