Serious bug in atlas, yet no action

[Scott Howard]

Hello again,

I just packaged a merge from debian. You can try it at:
https://launchpad.net/~showard314/+archive/ppa

I haven't found any patches that directly address the problem, I don't
know if it's been triaged fully anywhere yet. This debian merge at the
PPA is just a try to see if we got lucky and something fixed it up in
debian over the past year. If this works I'll post a merge proposal to
debian.

Regards,
Scott
