Stephen, would you mind explaining me how this code triggers a relaod upon the
next scan request? To me the operation of the command seemed to be without any
such side-effects, but I can't claim that I'd have seen all of the code.

BTW, IRC might be useful in such cases, where on IRC would you like this to be
discussed (if so at all, after all it also means that only those guys in the
channel get to read the news...)?

Best,
Michael
