This was reported in Ubuntu recently (LP: #665912), a fix has already
been committed although it requires some more testing which I haven't
gotten around to yet.

If you're interested and/or willing to help testing, an amd64 package
(and source package, for other platforms) based on the current -115 plus
the (one-line) fix for this issue are available here:
