Ok, maybe this was a bit fast and I was a bit agitated. It is actually rasqal 
which changed in a patch level. Not as bad for me since I don't use it 
directly but not really good either. Even if its still a 0.something version 
it has been around for a long time and is used by a rather large number of 
projects.
