:-)

For me the problem has been solved for quite a lot time (I rewrote all 3rd 
party GPL code that we used in the source). Unfortunately, the problem is not 
yet resolved for Debian users, because the solution is in the development 
code which is not yet released for "production".   It is currently undergoing 
beta testing, and hopefully it will be released in late March or April.

Best regards,

Kern
