Hrm. Maybe I'm wrong but that looks like it could be a miscompilation bug. Explanations: since upstream moved from CVS to git, I gave bisecting a try. I used “git merge-base” to find the branchpoint between the 1.6 and 1.8 branches, and try to build there. I had to tweak the environment a bit, but then stumbled upon FTBFS with gcc-4.3. Since I wasn't keen on patching every revision to be tried, I tried with gcc-4.2, and then I couldn't reproduce the test-suite failure anymore. I'm not sure how to debug that any further without having to fix every tried revision, which would mean a dozen or so. I think I'll be lacking either time or skills to fix every build failure, so I'll leave it up to the maintainer to see what to do from now. Mraw, KiBi.
