Still, Bengt might very well be right since one possible explanation might be that the used config files' timing  info is not exactly right which means that it's works more or less my luck in certain cases, and not in others. So, following that path to re-check the config files might an important step.

Your recorded data looks sound at a glance, repeating the same code a number of times. Unfortunately, there is no file driver or corresponding functionality in 0.9.0 to make a comparison possible.

Alec,
Sorry for silence - i was on business trip.
I tried 0.9.4b with reverted 4053290e5d435 - no difference.
Also I was trying to play with 0.9.0 + attached debug patch.
Unfortunately file in /tmp/ has always 0b size…
Are there any special preconditions to have debugging with this patch?
