Why? I exaplicitly did not ask you to do that.

My wording may have been unfortunate. What I meant to say was that I could
not find any entry in the HISTORY file that obviously covered this issue,
but that it does not follow that the problem still exists. Only testing,
or an understanding of the root cause of the problem, would help settle that.

It can't be very easy to maintain this package without access to a suitable
test environment.

I've just set up a pair of virtual machines, running squeeze (actually two
pairs, one i386 and one amd64), tried *and failed* to reproduce the problem.
So either it's fixed or its nature is such that it no longer manifests
itself in the same way. In either case this bug report can be closed since
the bug has only been observed in releases of Debian that are no longer
supported.
