Not really :-(

Please release without any change. I sent a patch (reset.diff) for the
problems of Mathias and Ulisses last week that was meant to be included,
but they did not test so far.
The problem of Ulrich is something different that I don't understand fully
yet.
I would prefer a well tested and working driver over a last-minute fix that
has the chance to break something.
