No, unfortunately. Where did you report it? If in the Debian bug tracking system, against which package? >> versions.

Thanks a lot for the offer; I appreciate it very much, but unfortunately I can't take it. You see, I do almost all of my Debian work while commuting on the train, with no network access. I have an old Sun Ultra Enterprise 2 at home with 64-bit processors, but I don't have time to actually use it. What I really need is a 64-bit laptop. OTOH, if you can try out my future patches on your machine, that would be really very helpful. -- Ludovic Brenta.
