And another brown paper bag for me ! Patch is fine, but doesn't do the
job because some idiot (me) didn't actually test (it looked so obvious)
and didn't notice somebody had the strange idea to also put __init on
the declaration in the .h file ! Ugh.
I'll send another patch later, have to run home now.
Cheers,
Ben.
