Thank you for your quick response.

I haven't tried to reproduce. I was asked to help with Fedora's bugs triage and
these come up. The goal was just to contact the right people and bring this to
their attention. If you have a patch for this, I guess we can try to ask Heinz,
or other people reporting this problem, to help with testing.

Heinz: Sorry I forgot to add you to CC in the first mail, but Sarah fixed it.

Thank you
