Dear Allan, did you had time to look into the problem? Just want to know if I should keep this up and trying to e.g. pull the newest versions from git, or put it to my other not-yet-solved tasks keeping it on hold. ;) Would be glad if you could tell me if this seems to be a longer bad debugging task (in which I gladly will try tohelp and try to participate) or, if it seems to be a simple one-line patch which might be simply fixed with the next release.
