Ah, thanks... it was a long day.  Did you get the other bug report?   
That one is a bug in the patch... really!  ;)

I have a question, why did you reverse the order of the original  
stantard setup function?

i.e. original = mtx_+_setup()    altname =  setup_mtx_0x2a()

I think that just makes things confusing and causes bugs, well, like  
the one we just talked about.
