Could perhaps keep $CC at the *end* of the list? Maybe, maybe not. To me, the original patch seems better. When keeping $CC at the end of the list, you'll get a cryptic error message.

So I'd be glad if the patch in question could be integrated. The reason I'm asking is because there are a number of open-source projects affected by this bug, and would be benefited if this bug got resolved. Kinds regards, Johannes Kauffmann
