That's not a spelling mistake, it's the same word. Arguably "requeue" isn't much of a real word to begin with, and is more of a made-up tech language. And then on wiktionary apparently the only "ing" form you find is the one without the final "e", but honestly, that's reaching. The word doesn't exist in _real_ dictionaries at all. I suspect "re-queueing" with the explicit hyphen would be the more legible spelling (with or without the "e" - both forms are as correct), but whatever. I've pulled it, but I really don't think it was misspelled to begin with, and somebody who actually cares about language probably wouldn't like either form. Linus

FWIW that was my spelling. I suspected the same thing, saw it being used in various spellings, but since Colin is a native speaker I took the patch. Thanks, Ilya
