Yes, that's another sufficient condition.

You are right, of course. I hope to hear soon from Jeremy. I don't
have write access to the CVS, so I'll fix the file but you won't see
it in the repository until he will commit it.

BTW, your correction isn't correct either: this sorts of "negative
tests" (test what there isn't, instead of what there is) are always
dangerous :-)

Genny.
