Spoke with the Listar developer (er, one of them, anyway).  This is a bug, 
and he's working on fixing it.  I suspect something will be available 
within a couple of days.

This is also a known problem, and was fixed last night.  However, because 
upgrading is a somewhat complex process (I make some custom changes to the 
source), I'll wait to do so until both of these problems have been fixed.  
I'll keep you posted.
