Hey - not with me! This is a clear BUG, and I DO NOT SEE why I should
tell the users around me to SAVE THEIR CONFIG before upgrading, or
helping them with reconfigured AFTER YOUR RECONFIGURATION stuff has
fucked up their manually tuned settings.

Why "wontfix"? I told you what should be done, I showed why the
behaviour is wrong.

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
