I cannot reproduce this behaviour on SunOS and Linux. The dump you sent with your mail seem to indicate that this is not the cause (as far as I can understand).
Can you send me a minimal example with the bug.
BTW, using a string-port would be more efficient in the example (and pehaps the bug will be gone :)
