Thanks for reporting this - again.

I have confirmed that this is a classic regression from 1.0 to 1.1 -
back in the day, I only applied the code change to the 1_0_branch, and
forgot about trunk which now has become 1.1.

We are in the process of applying a hotfix to 1.1 (and this time, I did
think about fixing it in the next trunk-to-be), and we'll let you know
when the change is live.

Apologies again,

Stefan Winter
