Posted by David Hunter 1 year, 6 months ago

This commit fixes that.

Please at least follow guidelines for submitting patches, specifically

"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
  instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
  to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
  its behaviour.
"
