The patch removing the PATH think is in the separate path, and I
mentioned above. Regarding more bug fixes, I am not sure what do you
mean specifically, some of them are separate patches and some of them
might be unfortunately part of other patches.

The reason is simple, I have extended fsadm from 494 lines to 1486 lines
with series of patches, improvements and new features. I would be painful
to identify each and every bug fix and create separate patch, which will
go through separate merging process especially since it is a single file
script.

Also the patch is not "well" hidden, it is just a part of the series and
it is done after all the big changes I have made.

Thanks!
