Without checking the package, I think I can say that this is an FAQ and
a frequent error. It should've been corrected with a release of a new
version, but at least, there's a patch available on the mtools website:

http://mtools.linux.lu/
http://mtools.linux.lu/mtools-3.9.8-20020203.diff.gz

The use of this patch is strongly recommended!

(Hi Alain, what about a new bugfix version?  :->)

Best greetings,
Moritz
