Maybe you are right. I just wanted to put it on Mantis and see if someone
would react to it. Someone did, so that's good :)

I am also happy to see that a "minor" bug got fixed quickly. That means
that people will not be tempted to call their favorite bugs "critical"
in order to get them fixed.

Come to think of it, there is a bug/fix in BFAV right now that I think is
"critical," but it has not gotten much attention. I think that I will
change it to "minor" so that it will be resolved faster ;-))
