Thank you for reporting the problem and developing a fix.  :-)  

The most developer-friendly way to supply a patch is with "git diff".
If you're not using git, "diff -u oldfile newfile > file.diff"
works, too.  

As a last resort, simply attached your modified file to a message you
post here.  

It helps if the file is an *attachment* because email systems often
wrap long lines in the code, something that can be undone only by
hand.  

Provided we agree with with your assessment and solution, we'll update
the master git branch.  Usually someone gets around to it within a week
or so.
