Opera mobile slow startup bug soon to be fixed?

There's a small but unpleasant bug in Opera Mobile v8.60 which causes a lot of people (including myself) to complain about loooong startup times (between 30 and 90 seconds, with some people having to wait up to 5 minutes).

This seems to originate in a problem with the Password Manager, and the (temporary) cure proposed by Opera Tech Support in one of their forums is to make a clean install of Opera Mobile and avoid changing the value for Password Manager in the Settings.

Since this bug is known and acknowledged by Opera staff, chances are that it'll be fixed in the next release of Opera Mobile, the only question is now: when will they release this update? ;-)

Update:This bug has indeed been fixed by Opera Software in the next release, 8.65, which has been available for some time now. Thanks to mobilephoneextreme for reminding me that I hadn't updated this post!
