Err... I'm not really sure. This bug surely screws up any HBCI and OFX 
import. Nevertheless it doesn't really crash anything or corrupt 
existing data. Well, if you think you can handle the extra work of a new 
release, then, yes, this would justify a quick 1.8.6. On the other hand 
if there is more important stuff to do then this could also wait another 
2-3 weeks (but probably not more). Thanks.
