Thanks for reminding me of my own mortality. :-)
I did a quick change to it, and naturally I placed the minus signs in the
wrong places. :-/
But, on the other hand it's nice to see that the patch at least seems to
work. Can someone else confirm this (Bob)?
If it turns out to only work partially, like shifting in the right
direction but the wrong amount, at least we now know where to put the
scaled transformation.
