Hi Christophe

If it's not working, it's a limitation in Sphinx, not Thinking  
Sphinx... so I've gone searching on the Sphinx forums, sounds like it  
*might* work with 0.9.9, but definitely not with 0.9.8.

So, are you using the latest 0.9.9 release candidate (with the  
sphinx-0.9.9 branch of TS)? If so, then it's probably worth posting on  
the Sphinx forum. If not, sounds like upgrading is a good place to  
start.

Cheers
