Hi

I've hacked a fix for the problem of "missing chain". Could you please
try the most recent version (not yet in Debian mainstream) available
from

http://itanix.rutgers.edu/rumba/dists/unstable/perspect/binary-all/net/

While upgrading you might need to update your config file with a fresh
one shipped with the package (as the WARNING might state)

I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Cheers
Yarik
