I have no idea why you did receive this bug report though :) That was actually the first time working with sparse for me, it took me some time (and a lot of build time) to figure out that I had to use the exact same sparse version has you in order to get the warning (I was using Ubuntu's stable 0.6.0-3 version). However I got it working and fixed this trivial but real issue in my code. Thanks, Miquèl
