It's been a fair while since I reported #101919. That's for sure. For me
though, that was the last time I encountered it. Simply because I havn't
had user names longer than eight chars since then.
Given what you write, I take it that it still does not work with
3.1.8-11 and that's a shame!
Could you please provide some more information on your patched version?
And DO keep the bug Cc:ed at all times when contributing new information
on a bug. That's really the only way to make anyone else but the
maintainer able to help out.
I find nothing about pathes in the mail log for #101919, but a quick
glance at the others suggests at least two patches to fix the problem.
Is one of them to be prefered over the other(s)?
