I believe this has been improved now in the 4.3.0 tree. (See my message from
5-Nov-2010.) From what I've heard 4.3.0 seems to be very close to release,
so you may want to try it. I suggest the best way to get the latest fixes is
to check it out with subversion. (Search the mailing list for instructions.)

Kind regards,
