Can you please find out which change causes the worsening?  Looking
into the ChangeLog I currently don't know when this problem has been
introduced.  In case you have CVS (and enough bandwidth), just do a
`binary search in time' by checking out various FT2 versions until you
find the problematic change.  I won't be able to do this the next few
days.

This is fixed now, thanks.
