I'll take a look at your patch - thanks for that - but find it kind of
difficult to believe that this is the cause for an issue has only
recently started happening. I've been using ripperX regularly for over
5 years on Debian with CDs that have more 9 tracks and never encountered
this problem (and I still don't have the problem locally). Your success
could be related to your rebuild - i.e. perhaps some other change in the
environment/dependencies.

Thanks,
Tony
