Hi Marco,

Thanks for the feedback. I would be interested in knowing what change
you made to correctly decode the errant file-list. If the change is
not complex I would be happy with a simple explanation of the change
or a code fragment or a fragment of diff output, etc.

Otherwise, as per the LGPL, if you distribute a modified package, you
need to make the source to that package available to the recipient by
either including it with your product or through a link to your
website. See the LGPL for details.

Mike
