Please use "Jens Frederich". We have a general mailbox for patches at Vector and I can't put a name there, I'll see if I can do better next time when I create a patch. 

Michael, will there be another 5.x release? If so, is it possible to apply the patch there? We are currently using 5.1 and the changeover to 6.x or 7.x is not foreseeable.
