Yucky. Any clue, Hallski?
Comment 2 Mikael Hallendal 2002-08-11 08:53:10 UTC 
Haven't had time to look into this one yet. I'll try to get the time
to do so later today.
Comment 3 Mikael Hallendal 2002-08-12 22:14:41 UTC 
OK, I think I've found the problem. Looks like I was a bit sloppy
while reviewing a patch to fix bug
