Robert,

I am gratified to see you are acknowledging that a problem exists with
the patch, and that the workaround will be documented.  However, what
would send me over the top into spasms of ecstasy would be some kind of
statement from you or your organization that a patch for the patch, or a
revision of the original patch is forthcoming and when we can reasonably
expect it.

Workarounds are, at best, temporary measures and frankly I don't have the
time to modify code produced by a generator - I have problems enough with
the stuff I write!

Regards,
John
