No, I've been using ProPolice since about 15-18 months now.

I should try to narrow it down. But it sucks to not have a
reproducible test case.

If you're interested, I can check if the same problem appears
on a dedicated server which I'm running with my OS too (just
a bit older version) and give you a shell account for testing.

:) The problem is that the author's communication skills are
not too great, especially on English, so the gcc people don't
really want the code in. But let's see, for 4.1 maybe.
