Jean-Claude,

I have reviewed and applied the suggested patch for #1935 in trunk and 1.5
branch this morning without testing, though my visual review suggests the
approach is fine.

There are lots of bugs that were not addressed for 1.5.1, but I came to
the conclusion that waiting for the release was not the best approach.
However, this fix will now appear in 1.5.1RC2.

Best regards,
