Hi Otto, Thanks for the reply. Well I was actually running 5.6 release, got confused with the flavors and what I had running. So this explains why it didn't work for me. Thanks for clarifying anyway because I looked at the 5.6 errata and thought it was not fixed with stable yet.
(There seems to be several hours delay before my posts actually hit the list, probably got graylisted due to not having posted (much) before (from this address). I also found this fix mentioned in the -current changes and reported to the list shortly after but the post is still pending somewhere.) Br, Tuomas.
