Thanks for noticing and fixing this so fast (I made some tests but I did 
not think of thread-safeness issues...). I also think that it should be 
corrected before entering sarge (though strictly speaking I also don't 
think it's a RC bug).

I can have an NMU ready with your updated patch quite soon. 
Debian-release, what do you think? Should I upload it as soon as 
possible (i.e. before it enters sarge)? I'll do so in a few hours unless 
someone objects to it in the meantime.

Regards,

Sam.
