Dear Frank,
Thanks for your fast answer.
I'm considering this bug serious because arabi package is one of most
important features of texlive-lang-arab. Working on large projects
could be very difficult with arabtex package. This bug could be
blocking users from using latex writing Arabic articles. However, if
you think this has a less priority, please feel free to change it.
Best Regards, Mazen
