Ok, great.

Absolutely, that would be great. We keep getting reports from users that
see this since the driver was reworked, and I still haven't got my head
around what really causes it. And none of my machines show the error
yet, so it's really hard to track. If you would point me to any specific
config option that reproducibly changes the behaviour, that would be of
great help.

No, it's really just a bug that must be fixed.


Thanks,
