Works for me.

As it is obvious, i just did a typo; memory issues were very frequent in
some kernels on my box, but in less than one minute, i could see that THIS
error was very easy to reproduce. And app spécific. Thus, not 100% sure it
was RPL bug (or kernel).

Oh, sth else may look strange to you: rpl is for me an alias to "rpl -is"
^^ faster to type.
