Hi Deloptes,
well done and thanks! The best way to report this, is to create a bug report in bugszilla, attach the code and mark the
bugs as enhancement and patch available status.
Sorry, I do not have phones for testing more. Perhaps some other users code do so after the code is integrated in the
main trunk.

Cheers
  Michele
