Thanks David, I'm a Gentoo user... so actually I do... I can test (for my use case at least) any candidate fixes etc.... just need to know what/where they are.
I'm a C/C++ developer by profession... so I don't mind get my hands a little dirty there if I can be of some help.
The convention here is to inline or bottom-post responses (and trimming unnecessary quoted material).
Anyway, a patch was proffered on the thread I was referring to but hasn't been acted upon that I recall.
