Re: [PATCH 0/3] Reentrancy

Hi Pekka,

your patches don't apply cleanly because your MUA added unwanted
line breaks.

Can you please tell your MUA not to do that and send the patches again?
If that's not possible for some reason, add the patches as plaintext
attachments to a single mail.


Thanks,
Corinna
