This is a known bug in versions 22.38 - 22.40f:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=23164&atid=377580&func=detail&aid=500386
which has been fixed in 22.40g, over a year ago.

I can't reproduce this one; do you have sample for that? It
doesn't sound as if it was the same bug ...

Unfortunately that tells me nothing about the xdvik version
used ...
