Do you have a small reproducible sample which shows the problem? With
PyInstaller SVN version, the problem appeared to be fixed for the testcases I
had.

BTW: putting "PyInstaller" in the subject of the mail for PyInstaller-related
mails (and/or mailing to the PyInstaller mailing list) would be preferred to
get a quicker answer.

Thanks!
