Dear diary, on Wed, Mar 29, 2006 at 02:16:33AM CEST, I got a letter
where Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> said that...

Dear diary, on Wed, Mar 29, 2006 at 01:42:00PM CEST, I got a letter

Indeed, and since noone complained yet, the portability consideration is
apparently a non-issue.

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.  I think
I have forgotten this before.
