Hi Onkar,

My appologies if I missed changes that were listed on the bug. I merged
directly from MoM, so I'll make a note to double check tomorrow. If I
missed them, I'll add them in an upload tomorrow.

Tomrod,

It was entirely my mistake. I didn't double check u-u-s, but I had this in
the back of my mind (since i've done the past few uploads). I'll be glad to
merge in his stuff tomorrow.

Thanks. Actually, I will in general encourage the habit of checking a package's bug listing before any merging and uploading, for instance to see if some small fixes are ready and can be included.
