 David
 
 Thanks for the acknowledgement. I feel I was correct forwarding this for you=
 r attention as you had contacted me asking for more information with relatio=
 n to 51226 and it had not been fixed.
 
 Would you kindly send me a link where I can download a version that has the f=
 ix installed, as I don't understand -current aka (head)??
 
 I have only reported one bug via your website form which I assume goes to gn=
 ats-bugs -two requests 51226 and 51309 for exactly the same problem. I don't=
  contact individual developers unless there is a good reason - as in this ca=
 se.
 
 Regards
 
 David
