could you please send us a benchmark which showcases the problem? The smaller 
the better, ideally a benchmark which is contained in a single file is easier 
to run and debug than one which involves to download lots of code from the 
internet.

Moreover, maybe you could also open a ticket in our bug tracker, so we are 
sure not to forget it.

ciao and thanks,
Anto
