Hi Dmitry,
Just so we're all on the same page, do you mean the end of
https://bugs.debian.org/916230 ? Could you please provide a message
number? I briefly looked over
https://bugs.debian.org/916230, paying
particular attention to the later half, and could see no reproduction
sequence articulated. But sometimes I miss things.
Thanks,
