Hi,

I don't know why it freezes here but I think it's due to RH because I haven't
had any problem with this code with the unstable tree of debian for two years.

On the other hand I think this code is completely useless (and might have a
little leak and it's _bad_) so you can remove it (just leave the method empty),
I'll remove it from the cvs soon (could someone sell me free time ?).

Regards,
