From 03a67a46af8647b2c7825107045ecae641e103d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 05:32:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix typos in doc and comments Changes persistant -> persistent. www.dictionary.com does not know persistant (with an A), but should it be one of those things you can spell in more than one correct way, let me know.
