This is obviously an upstream bug. I propose you to take this discussion to unison mailing list, where people can define how to handle this bug: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/unison-users/ http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/lists.html This is the central place for bug reporting on upstream bug.
