Quite weird. I'll have a look once I can checkout the new CVS (yes, I
admit, I'm a lame and I've just uploaded my SSH key right now! :/)

No problem! :) I've written it as a state machine. Well, a messy state
machine. Still, the problem may also come from a well hidden bug in the
mapengine, or maybe even the win_manager. Remember, you've (hopefully)
fixed it, but unfortunately "hopefully" never happens! :/

Let's give it a try with Electric Fence (just hope it won't run out of
memory), I think it would quickly appear! :)
