Sorry about the delay; I've now released Debian's at-2.9a-1.  I'm
closing this bug report; please send in another report if the problem

which has been out since August or so.

The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double
logarithmic diagram.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
