Strange.  The bug appeared in CVS few days ago, but I wasn't able to
reproduce it with GNATS 3.113 nor can find any way how this could happen
in that version.

We have to diagnose the problem closer.  Does the following patch make
any difference?

I don't think it is anything wrong with your setup.

I don't know any user list (there is a development list
gnats-devel@sourceware.cygnus.com), but what you describe definitely
belongs to the bug list, IMHO. :-)
