I was actually being quite deliberate when I used the word "braindead" before - the automated click-of-a-button response may have its use, but one should always be careful with when to use it. Is there any way of filing a a bugreport on "jani"? Nah, perhaps I should file a doc-bug, but to be honest, I can't be bothered when the PHP project can't.

It's 21:55 here and I'm really just a sad old git :-) Well, I've been busy keeping an eye on my 5 year old most of the day. His favourite playmate from next door was away today, which meant I didn't get to do much work until around 1830. (Amongst other things, I have a decidedly difficult mysql core dump I'm trying to capture). /Per, signing off for the night. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.6°C)
