Thanks for sharing this information. For myself, i don't think that it is worth the effort to go back to 1.0.8 from 1.5.0.3 as i heard that this may lead to problems; besides, i've allready verified that i can reproduce the bug. It would be most valuable if anyone else here with an appropriate system could give these pages a try and post to bug 134373. Matthias -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
