Hi Jens,
I have checked this new version to find solutions to the apparent
errors, mistakes or just unclear parts (to me) that I have pointed out
before Christmas last year.  But I have found no changes related to
these problems.

As I have already written, I'm willing to try to fix those errors
myself, if they really are errors, but I would first need at least
some minimal initial feedback and guidance.  If needed, tell me how I
can help you get in sync again with these issues (sending my reports
again, sending a digest of them, ...).

Thanks,
Paolo
