I (maybe others) interpreted this as you admitting that the patch was not 
yet ready/good enough to commit to CVS! So maybe that's why nobody 
complained - Is it true that wrong results will be given in a lat/long 
location with no warning? If so, then something should be changed.
If not, and I've misunderstood, then it's all OK!
