Wouldn't surprise me :-). It's amazing what bugs emerge in code that
ran seemingly fine for ages.

Is there a mailing list or something I could subscribe to? Otherwise
that would be nice :-).

Since it would mean yet another dependency, I am somewhat undecided.
OTOH, it would mean some code less to worry about. If it does not
require too much work and saves some maintenance work in the long run
it could be worth the effort. Especially if some distros would start
picking it up.

Neat :-). Nice job!
