This is a reply to and old post, but I'd gone off onto other projects,
and am just revisiting this...

I am currently running version 2.22.0 and am still getting the error
described above.  If the bug had been fixed in an earlier version, it
seems to have crept back in.

My Ubuntu version is currently 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)

Thanks,
