Comment 1 Todd Zullinger 2011-10-15 16:55:09 UTC

Thanks for the report.  As this is already filed upstream, we'll pick it up when it is fixed upstream.  Anyone interested in submitting patches upstream is encouraged to do so.

It's unlikely to be fixed, but 1.6.1 was moved from testing to stable yesterday.  1.6.2 will be moving to testing today or tomorrow.
