Hi,

I've had similar problem a while ago and submitted a possible solution
(patch attached) but Kerns wasn't quite satisfied with it. The followup
is here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9644823&forum_id=8650
It was made for the 1.38.5 but should apply to the the 1.38.6 as well. I
haven't got around yet to check it against the current release, but I
think it should go without problems.

If you get time to apply it, share your results. The current state is
WorksForMe (tm).
