I'm not saying this bug shouldn't be fixed. What I am saying is let's try and fix the REAL problem. Your patch will most likely not be accepted upstream. We should strive to produce patches that we can push up to the authors. If you follow the debugging instructions at the link I sent you, hopefully the root of this problem can be identified and fixed.
