These two issues have been resolved in the current "jhead-latest.tar.gz"
distributed on the upstream site. Both Ubuntu and Debian have renamed
one version of this file to be "2.85" whereas upstream has not yet
released any 2.85 version. Upstream stated that they will release a
2.85 not before next year, so anyone who has this issue open can either
extract patches, package the snapshot or wait.
