No need to shout, I did not accuse you of anything, just trying to rule out
some possible causes.

Well, then I can't really help, as without you filing a bug report with the
necessary details we can't know what is wrong, and without this we can't
know what to fix. Mind you: we never fix released versions, this would be
up to the distributions to backport any fixes we release, so again, nothing
I can promise.
