Excellent, I will pass the information along.

I consider the fix trivial, for details of the issue and the proposed fix, see:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2802293&group_id=2435&atid=102435
If it's felt that the patch is non-trivial, please let me know and
send me the form that the user would need to complete.
Thank you,
Chris
