 |Thanks, Steffen.  I want to say that I do appreciate the work you are 

Oh please, come on.  Just a maintainer of a petty tool.  :)

Until now i have only grepped, and i cannot really see
a difference in between Heirloom and us.  With the exception that
i, well, hacked in support for the URL objects which will be our
internal, technical future.  (And i moved some code.)
Thanks for the hint, i will test as soon as possible and come back
to you when i can reproduce, in which case, when i have fixed your
issue.
Ciao!
