Thanks for your report. This is a string fix reported in bug 500709, so i'm marking this report as duplicate. You must have seen the release notes for 10.04. But if, once you've upgraded, you're really landing in 9.10 then 'unduplicate' this report, and ping me because this would be a quite critical issue.
