I think I now remember reporting this problem for the 1.29.0 release 
and you even requested me to check something to work around this 
problem back in December and I forgot all about it. :-( Seems I need a 
memory upgrade for my brain.

You are right, it's a conformance problem with VA6, at least on my 
installation. But the fix on the 1.29.0 branch should work. Could you 
please merge it to the main trunk?
