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.
