Can you upload your patch?

Sorry, here's the attachment.
I wasn't fully aware of the procedures. I'm reading the contributor's guide now...

Did I get everything right this time?

FloydM: The status is changed to fixed only when/if the patch is applied.

I can confirm that this patch works as it should, had the same errors FloydM when trying to put a block on the frontpage of my site..
Good catch HellRaider! :-)

HellRaiser, thanks for attaching the patch. You got it right. :) Committed to HEAD and DRUPAL-4-6. Thanks.
