Jörg, first of all, thank you for the fix. 

But, if you wan't to bring an Open SOURCE project forward, you should
worry about bugs in the source and not silently ignore bugs which you
can't reproduce with your binary packages.

It's also strange that the mentioning of bacula seems to trigger more
reaction than the report of a data corruption bug.

Quite honestly, and especially after a private email from Bruno to me,
I'm not sure if care about reporting bugs here anymore.

I also was about switching customers from bacula to bareos - but I need
to reconsider this (and no, that's not because of that bug, bugs happen
everywhere).

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your work and effort, and I
think that bareos and bacula are a top backup solutions, but this
mailinglist and some of the reactions I got are really strange to me
and not what I expect or I'm used from other Open Source projects,
which kind of makes me sad.

Best Regards,
  Tom
