Just an update, there's a small update of this package in upstream's svn that seems to no longer display this problem. Upstream is reluctant to release it, because this svn version has a similar problem on Mac OS X. I'm going to attack the Mac OS X problem. If I solve it, I can work with upstream to make a bugfix release based on the svn version. If not, I'll backport the svn fix into Debian. Point is, a fix is in sight. - Jordi G. H.
