I can't remember the patches that Arthur included in the deb (Arthur?). I'll check if we can't raise him. A further difficulty with this is that to fix this problem a small kernel patch was needed.

Now is difficult as there have been so many changes, making patches is going to start to be difficult to get them to apply. So I'm likely not to add much to the current code until after I make a new release.
