    I'm a bit confused about this one... is this a workaround to avoid
    running buggy code that is still present rather then a fix for the
    buggy code?
This was the quick workaround.  As far as I understood joerg, this code is not really ready for prime time yet.  He also indicated that he would work on a fix.  In any case, this is no crucial feature.  I think we should wait until a fixed upstream version appears.

cheers
