Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-440:
--------------------------------------------

Thanks for the report.

There has already been a similar report, recorded as CONFIGURATION-428. For this issue a fix has been applied in subversion. Could you please check whether this fix solves your problem? Unfortunately, it is necessary to checkout the recent version from subversion and to build it because the changes have not been released yet.
