No worries, this wasn't urgent :)

Wonderful.

I thought the double auth might be a problem because the code only takes
into account the current auth.  But it works, as you say, and I don't
see any side effects.  So I'm in favor of comitting your patch.  I don't
know if it's "trivial," however (meaning that it doesn't require
copyright assignment papers).  Do you want to propose it on emacs-devel
or should I do it?  Either way, you'll get an answer about the copyright
papers :)

Thanks
