Thanks for your report. I'll take care of it. What is your platform 
(Perl version & other important things). Because it works perfectly for 
me for all my customers, that are on various linux, aix or solaris systems.

Note koha-bugs is usually only for automatic mailing from bugs.koha.org. 
So it would be better for another bugreport, either :
* reporting it on bugs.koha.org
* send a mail to koha-devel mailing list where developpers are speaking 
of dev problems.

Last note : n'hésitez pas à vous déclarer sur www.koha.org/wiki, 
KohaUsers (login & mot de passe sont indiqués dans la fenêtre qui vous 
les demande. C'est une mesure anti pourissement).
Et n'hésitez pas à vous abonner et vous présenter sur la liste infos 
(www.koha-fr.org >> Aller plus loin >> Support >> Support 
communautaire). Vous y trouverez d'autres grenoblois (Wesford) et 
d'autres labos du CNRS (math, histoire,...) utilisant Koha. A très 
bientôt dons ;-)
