Thanks Jan.

Could we force the maintainer onto the bug list and contact them directly
so to remedy this bug once and for all? It would be a wonderful
improvement, since it has been around for ages--far too long.

With the whole OS vulnerable due to those recent bug discoveries, I think
now is about time we start clearing up the code.

If the maintainer won't fix it, could we please get some volunteers? Simple
broken code like this scares off adoption and makes nonprofit adoption less
viable due to tech support problems.
