Never mind -- I found the bug. I have a patch attached for current git
master, and I think it will apply cleanly to 1.0.3 too, but I haven't
checked yet. I'll be making a new release (1.1.5) from the mainline
branch soon but an updated 1.0.x release might take longer since
there's nontrivial backporting work to be done for other bugs too. If
you have trouble applying the patch let me know.
