I was sort of expecting you to just put this in yourself, but since you 
haven't, I wrote it up as an actual patch and fixed the polarity of the 
test for slashes.

Thanks.  I am bogged down in day-job these days and have been
down-sick for the past 36 hours.

No problem. It's an easy enough patch, and the test suite found the bug in 
the original version. I just wanted to make sure it didn't get forgotten 
on account of never getting a patch emailled to the list.

Actually I have been slowly trying to give up on being in the
business of tying up loose ends left by everybody.  I used to
touch-up and finish obvious loose ends and add tests myself to
patches from many people, and I still try to do so when able,
but as contributor base gets larger, doing so to all incoming
patches is starting to become unfeasible, and it is not quite
fair to me (and my wife ;-)).

So in that sense, yes it was getting forgotten, waiting for a
"this is the final revision, apply it" message from you.
