I discovered and fixed this problem some weeks ago and it should be
in our latest or next (?) distribution. Sorry, I've been out of contact
for a couple of weeks, as I'm recovering from intestinal surgery. I
still read my email, but won't be back to work until next week. It
seems as if two weeks ago we were getting ready to release our latest
distribution, but I don't know how far that has got.
