Hmm. What modifications were made to these files? Could you attach the modified files? Perhaps your modifications are something worthy of consideration to add to the default files. I'll look into this issue probably during our next development cycle.
Closing bug due to lack of response. Please reopen and update the report with new information if the problem is still an issue and you would still like to see it addressed in future releases. Thanks.
