Please try the current CVS and do some debugging of yourself.  Up to
now noone has experienced this problem, and it is next to impossible
to debug this without having a running example.

Using ftview, I can't see any problems with the CVS version.  Again:
please compare the code you are using with the one in the demo
programs.  Otherwise, please write a small stand-alone example which
demonstrates your problem.
