Great.

Yes, I still do development of PM (even though only small bugfixes for
my own needs).

The problem was infact in the routine which imports files into the
project - it failed when trying to copy binary files. I had this fixed
in my local copy for about two weeks now, but forgot to commit my
changes. They are now in SVN, so you might want to try them out. ;-)

Anyways, glad to finally see some people use PM.
