Grant,

I had the same issue with it and there is indeed an error in the source. It
took me a little while to track it down, but for one of the function calls
the arguments are swapped. I'm gonna try to find out more details for you as
I haven't actually touched this in almost 3 months and at the time when I
asked if anyone would care for the patch no one on the mailing list
responded.
