It turned out that the application had a bug. If no substring was given by
the user the application preset the filter with "*", but further down in
the used libraries there was another "*" added.

2.1.4 has tolerated the resulting filter string somehow, but 2.3.19 (and
just checked 2.2.27 too) do not. The app has been adjusted, everything
works fine now. Thanks.
