I've fixed it in Therion here on my computer, but I haven't uploaded
those sources to Debian yet because I got stuck on some tiresome things
to do with making menu entries appear correctly (and because building
an extension has kept me from doing anything much cave-related).

I'll send a patch so at least people can see what's needed.

A debian upload won't help Windows users of course. You need stacho to
do a new build for that.
