I'm uploading a fix for this problem as fast as my sponsor gets to it. I was unaware that upstream had moved to Sourceforge, but now that I know that I'll package the new upstream version as soon as the release critical bug is fixed in etch. Peter--feel free to ignore any bugs that are specifically related to Debian packaging issues. I'll get them. Regards, Christine
