Do you know whether the problem was present in squeeze1?  Did you go
straight from 3.9.4-5 to 3.9.4-5+squeeze2, or did you run squeeze1 in
the interim?  squeeze1 contained the change to Fax4Decode, so I'm
guessing it must be there.  Anyway, I'll rebuild intermediate versions
and test.  I'm sorry this is taking some time.  Real life sometimes
takes precedence over debian work, of course, but I try to stay on top
of more serious problems.  I don't think the security issues that were
fixed are super-critical or have easily usable exploits, so downgrading
is a workaround, as I'm sure you know.  I'm trying to squeeze this in a
little at a time.
