Comment 1 Elijah Newren 2002-11-17 04:07:23 UTC 
This was reported first, but I noticed bug #98751 first and it has
information on how to quickly notice the bug, so I'm marking this one
as a duplicate of that one.

Note also that bug #96443 may be referring to this same bug and they
attached a patch that may fix this.
