Could you please test with opal from experimental?

If the bug still appears, as this is an upstream issue, could you post 
the same bug report at 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?words=tracker_browse&sort=open_date&sortdir=desc&offset=0&group_id=204472&atid=989748&assignee=&status=&category=&artgroup=&keyword=&submitter=&artifact_id= 
?  I could do it, but maybe upstream requires further information and 
only you can provide it.
