Yes and no.  I asked Heinz what was needed to include 0.9 on the next suse
release.  He gave me a short list of the known huge bugs, I fixed them and
sent the patches along to andrea.  Andrea picked up my merging patch into
his tree, but I wasn't clear enough about the bug fix patch and it was
missed.

And, I missed that it didn't get into the kernel until it was too late
(sorry Heinz).
