Anyhow I prefer an ugly workaround to a crash ;-)

I don't share that preference.

The point is with these kind of projects where a lot of ppl are submitting parts of code, there is a big chance that someone doesn't understand the full code. So when another but appears, one is tempted to make a fix on top of that, without touching the underlying code. The result if such patches usually is a pile of spagetti where noone understands what the real functionlity was.

I prefer to solve problems at the source, even it means that will take longer

Well, so let me qualify: I prefer an ugly workaround as long as it is clearly marked as an ugly workaround in need of a proper solution. Since I really don't understand the full code, I have no other option at the moment than apply that patch.
