Hi,

Checkout latest version 2.5.240.
Last two patches should fix the issue.

Thanks

Hi dlin.tw,

Thanks for taking the time for reporting this.

If you believe this a defect and if you know how to fix it than we'll be glad 
to insert a patch from you and give you the credit.

Otherwise, AFAICS we don't have resources for this issue and I can't tell when 
someone will handle it.

Thanks,
  Avner

Hi,

The patch remove and add the same lines. It does not change the code.

Hi dlin.tw,
Can you please provide patch that fixes it.  
Please notice that the patch should be on configure.ac or on Makefile.am and 
not on Makefile.
