   That's good news. I will commit the change, as I'm sure it's the
   correct way to go anyway.  If there are still issues on these
   kernels, then the problem must lie elsewhere.

   Hopefully it will work for the others reporting this problem as
   well.

   Might even need to make a 1.9.1 release as the v1.9 signaling code in
   auvoxware is just plain wrong in a number of ways.
