I haven't had this fail on me personally, and so have not tested the fix
directly. However, on another thread Peter Saffrey reported using your
patch was helpful, so I have committed the fix to CVS (without the extra
print statements). As usual, let me know if I've mangled something with
my editing ;)

Thanks,
