rtorrent + rtgui now broken?

Upgraded to the latest rtorrent / libtorrent today:

Code: 
libtorrent-0.12.4   BitTorrent Library written in C++
rtorrent-0.8.4      BitTorrent Client written in C++

rtorrent came with a revised rtorrent.rc, but unfortunately the syntax for sending data to rtgui bombs rtorrent:

.rtorrent.rc:
Code: 
scgi_port = localhost:5000

result:
Code: 
rtorrent: std::bad_alloc

rtorrent was rebuilt from scratch with xmlrpc support enabled.

Another problem appears to be 'stop_on_ratio'. The syntax has changed slightly (some double quotes were added to the syntax), but the error persists.

.rtorrent.rc
Code: 
schedule = ratio,60,60,"stop_on_ratio=110"

(variants without double quotes, or using the default three values, no difference)

result:
Code: 
Scheduled command failed: ratio: Command "stop_on_ratio" does not exist.
Just checking to see if other people have this problem before making a PR.
 
I'll try updating, I seem to have had some ``unexpected good results'' with rtorrent&rtgui before ;)

Will keep you posted.
 
As far as the ratio error goes:
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentRatioHandling
("The ratio handling has been updated in rtorrent 0.8.4.")

Quite annoying that the rtorrent.rc installed with the port has obsoleted options! I should say: the invalid rtorrent.rc is distributed with the official tarball from rikshasa.no. That's pretty lame.
