Doh. Yeah, I see how that happened. I'll publish a fix this afternoon. Many 
thanks for the info!

FWIW: Yeah, I disabled the ticket system on TRAC, as it was getting spammed 
into oblivion despite the protection mechanisms that I had implemented. The 
only thing left to do would have been another TRAC update and installing more 
third party SPAM protection modules to it, which I put off for now.
