So what version were you using? The only likely fix I found was this
commit from almost two years ago:

and git describe says:

so yours must have been pre-6.36 or thereabouts, i.e. probably whatever was
built-in with your (23.2-based?) emacs.

If you were indeed using such an ancient version, I think you will be
*much* happier with latest.
