I tried to grep old mails and found another issue with annotate: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/06/msg00037.html + following mails in thread But this is probably not helpful.

I have also some German communication with one of the authors Stefan Kurtz <ku...@zbh.uni-hamburg.de> where I sended the patches to - but this also brings not more light into the issue.
