Tags 364275 + pending Tags 368849 + pending Thanks I have prepared a package that fixes this bug, and I intend to upload it as an NMU.
The patch is very simple (it's the one mentioned at the sourceforge page),
and fixes the problem as was reported. This bug has been reported as
important, but I think it should actually have been serious, since it
renders most of the package unusable.
Therefore, I'm only going to upload to the 3-day delayed queue. I'm
attaching the full interdiff output for the package that I'll be uploading.
As you can see, it's really simple.
