I agree with you.
If the fix goes into taglib, other applications
use it will also be benefited.

Thanks for the suggestion.
However, since the repository is maintained by Xandros,
we have to ask them to do so. Actually I've already
asked them to upgrade to 1.4.8, but it seems
they are out of manpower...

I'll forward your opinion to Xandros so that we can
ask them to raise the priority.
