I can't reproduce this with version 0.2.7.1-1. Instead, it starts
eating all memory when hitting return on a package, of course because
of an unsigned int compared against string::npos (didn't we have this
before a few times?)

(The "comparison between signed and unsigned" warning of gcc is
*EVIL*. It makes people fuck up their code. Don't listen to it. Use
plain int.)
