Thanks; makes sense to me.  The patch is longer than the limit for
"trivial" changes, so we'd need for the copyright to be assigned to the
FSF before accepting it.  Would you be willing to sign such paperwork?

If so, below is the form to get started:


Please email the following information to assign <at> gnu.org, and we
will send you the assignment form for your past and future changes.

Please use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject
