Hi Sascha,

thanks for the bugreport!

If I remember right that problem did not happen when using Python 2.4, but it
happened with Python 2.5. As I spent a lot of time with upstream on debugging
the issue (unfortunately removing/changing the first test only made a lot of
regression tests fail....) and at the end a lot of code was rewritten in between
the version in Lenny and 2.92, I can't fix this easily unfortunately. If you can
come up with a patch which applies to the version in Lenny and all the
regression tests still work (you'd have to get them from the git tag of that
upstream version), I would consider to ask for a stable update, although I doubt
that the release team would accept it.

Cheers,

Bernd
