I just wonder whether it's necessary to create another issue, or whether the issue can be marked as 'fixed' without opening the new issue. It seems like the bug relates only to an older version of a 'weird' operating system <ducks> and could perhaps be left unfixed without causing anyone any problems. Cheers, -T
