Please investigate bug 922835

Hi,

This bug is currently closed but I have experience the same as the
bug reporter and I can reproduce the problem.
I have posted comments to the bug entry including work around. (See below)

I don't think this is related to bug 930993 because I have applied the
change to the source on ver 5.1 suggested in the bug's comment and the
problem still occurs.

Many thanks
Joe
