  Yeah, Tracker might not be providing that but it could very well be
that this specific info is not available. Anyway, i think providing
something is better than nothing so if you provide me a modified patch
that implements that logic I described in the previous mail, I'll
hapilly accept it.

  Ah, not a typo again. That may very well be the reason for most of
your problems.  I just fixed it in the trunk.

  Thanks for the appreciation and especially for contributing to my
software. Since I am mostly working on all this alone, it's always
good to get help.
