Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Looking at Debian bug #973050, I see that has similar symptoms, but a
different underlying cause to this bug.  So, I went ahead and
submitted a new bug to Debian[2].  If the maintainer decides that they
actually are the same underlying bug, he can merge this as a
duplicate.

Thanks,
George
