I simply don't have time for this, and spent way too much time on it

test it, something is wrong anyway.

I don't see York's posts as a complaint at all, just someone with a vested interest in this code trying to understand the patch.  I definitely appreciate the effort you have put into it already, and I'm disappointed that you think that this is now a waste of your time.
