Erm, that's odd, it shouldn't have fixed it :-)

It was only supposed to help in getting some more debug information.

I've just realised that I uploaded the packages based on the karmic
versions, so there were more changes than I expected. I just uploaded
new ones with just the one change so we can narrow down what happened.

Could you now do the following:

  * Downgrade to the released packages in jaunty and check the bug is
    still there. (if it isn't something weird is going on).

  * Install the +jw3 packages from that PPA and see if they fix it. If
    they do then that patch does more than I expect, if not then it's
    something fixed in karmic, so we can work out what.


Thanks,

James
