Actually we've found the issue, see https://bugs.debian.org/871648#52 - somehow I missed this back in Aug when this email arrived - I was quite a bit busy at that time. I already asked for an update for -stable with these changes and with other security fixes, so this bug should hopefully be fixed soon. Thank you! /mjt
