Hi,

This is CAN-2005-2873

I have talked with upstream, and Juergen Kreidleder who originally
discovered this bug about this problem. Unfortunately there is no patch
that fixes this problem that upstream is comfortable, so I would rather
leave the problem. Actually, upstream's position is that the module
should be rewritten. On examination of the code I agree. I did start on
that, but I don't have anything useful yet.
