Ah, yes, thanks. I kept the old, broken version in my tree to make sure I have the dependencies for (and don't forget) the (hopefully good) patches that follow on top, but was planning to replace it once we have a new version of the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO one.

Stuart, could you please send a new version of the CURRENT_THREAD_INFO patch?
