:;)  Anyway, just a thought.

Ah, hadn't noticed the BTS yet.  Spoon is mine and it does look like
the same issue, I guess I'l ping Niels about getting a modern libevent
packaged, though since there're actually trying for a relese changing
version is officially frowned upon right now.

I'll also look at just building an new libevent and see if that helps.
