The same was reported to Debian as well and looks like it is the same timing problem: http://bugs.debian.org/576415 I'm just discovering the long story of that LP#462169. It apparently got fixed in some Ubuntu packages and just forgot flowing "upstream". If only I could find the patch in LP, it could be added to the Debian package but that bug is...ahem....quite hairy. I get gazillion informations about the people who are subscribed to the bug but no obvious point that says *this is the fix*. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
