OK, that can explain a lot.

I tried with all your patches, but it does not help to real app and then I 
have also tested with my test utility and it did not help either. :-(
It looks like I am doing something wrong - I have attached cumulative patch I 
have applied to 0.80.1 version - this should include all the patches proposed 
by you. Can you check if this is complete patch or can you provide your 
complete patch based on 0.80.1 version?
