As the test version didn't work, there won't be much of a chance that the next version will have it fixed, because I haven't got the slightest clue what causes it. As I said, the bug is almost certainly a system bug that's restricted to PPC, I don't have such a computer anymore to test. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack while you can't see the haystack, which is useless.
