transmission-daemon dies on Mss-ii

transmission-daemon died ("Aborted") unexpectedly* installed using ipkg on my maxtor-shared-storage II (custom firmware edamame-3.5.47 by coyoteden <- thanks!).
Found somewhere that starting it with

export EVENT_NOEPOLL=1;transmission-daemon 

was enough to let it run flawlessly.

*Unexpectedly means that the rpc-webpage at port 9091 were incompletely rendered and that a new started download stopped as soon as a client was ready to send data.

Unfortunately transgui seems to have a nasty bug when reducing to icon: the icon is invisible and the application is now unusable (where's the config file???).
