Ah, I'm glad to hear that the problem is identified. It is waaaay too much
beyond my abilities to fix it myself :-)

I'll do. I hope I'll be able to find time to do it quickly...
I did read the patch using all my concentration, but couldn't spot a related

but as I'm not near it anytime during the work hours, it wouldn't be of much
help to you with no ability to wake it up back :)
