Very, very nice. Thank you!

I was beeing affected by that problem for a few weeks but couldn't solve
the problem (gave up after a few tries because I don't like to mess with
storage... Big responsability!). I've been testing this patch in a test
server for some days and it looks good. No problems so far. Any comments?

Anyway, I'd like the core team to bless this patch and maybe include it
in a new release?

Thanks again,
Nuno Silva
