Would it be possible that noone that has actually read your messages (and
some will delete the message right away because of your script kiddie like
nick) knows the answer? Or that this could actually be a real bug that still
needs somebody to investigate it further to try to fix it? So you have two
choices:

1. wait for the fix to be done by someone else, i.e. wait one month or so
   and try again
2. fix it yourself
