I would switch the second and third names here.

Apart from that, the diff is fine.

I have been getting about a half a dozen bounces from your
email address over the weekend, some for emails that I know
you got because you replied to them. Can you please fix whatever
is causing problems at your end? And if you have a backup email
address, giving it to the rest of us it would simplify communication
in such situations.

In case you did not get the email I sent about how to fix the
interaction between input_spec pragmas and other references
to proc_ids, I am attaching it to this email as well.

Zoltan.
