Thanks for the patch. I've applied your patch for the column provider to
trunk in r19746.
Since this is not a bugfix, this change won't get applied to the stable
1.6.x branch - we only do bugfixes there, nothing else.

The same applies to your patch for PreserveChdir, which I committed to
trunk in r19747.
