[Bug-xnee] Buffer overflow error while replaying recorded file

Hi,
I'm facing a reproducible buffer overflow error while replaying events recorded using xnee.
The recording takes place fine; there are no errors, and cnee exits cheerfully. Then, when I attempt to replay the file, a few events take place, and then there is a buffer overflow.
I appear to have noticed that the buffer overflow occurs only after any event that launches a new program. For example, if I move the mouse around and navigate my KDE main menu, those events are replayed fine. Cnee dies only after the an event that launches a new application.
Another odd side-effect I'm noticing is that my keyboard repeat stops working after cnee dies as seen below. Holding down any key for eternity produces just one keystroke. Oddly, though, if I'm running vmware, and the keyboard is captured by a guest virtual machine, keyboard repeats work fine within that virtual machine... - this seems to indicate that the hardware etc. is fine, but something is stopping X from receiving multiple keypresses when a key is held down...?
Please find below the command output when I run cnee to replay the events. I have attached the gnumeric2.xnl file to this mail, in case it helps.
Would be really grateful if someone could give me some answers. I've tried the same operation on a Fedora Core 4 machine as well as a newly installed CentOS 4 machine, with identical results. The Fedora machine runs KDE, while the CentOS runs Gnome. No difference in operation visible (I guess it wouldn't make a difference anyway... but too much info can't hurt :))
