I have no way of debugging anything under os2.
So unless you can find a similar failure that I can reproduce here,
I can't do much other than maybe disable the feedback altogether
with a command line option (see other message).

The details of this code were changed by later patches,
so this only point a finger at the entire feedback mechanism

My proposed non-fix remains to add a command line
option disabling this feedback mechanism.
