It could be the same problem, but not necessarily (it could even be a 
different web2c-specific problem). I've added this new bug separately
for the moment and CC to Denis (hopefully) to see if he still has the
original bug-creating file.

Bugtracker is here

Denis' original bug is #131, Werner's new bug is #260
