Psiloc miniGPS - bug on Nokia 6600

I have installed Psiloc miniGPS version 1.22 on my Nokia 6600. The installation works, and the program runs for the most part. However, I have discovered one substantial bug.

The program fails to update the "Cell ID" while the phone is travelled to various cell sites. As such, the "events handling" and "cell changed dialog" never get triggered, as the program does not register that the cell_id has changed.

I have tested this by driving amongst various sites, while monitoring the program's main screen. As I travel, I can note the signal strength gradually falling, then suddenly the signal justs to a high level (presumably the phone has switched to a new and closer cell site). However, the miniGPS program still shows the same cell_id that first appeared when the program was launched. If later on, I cancel the program and restart it, it will then show the new and different cell_id then what was presented in the previous session.

Has anyone else experienced the same on a Nokia 6600 phone?
(This bug seems to be specific to Nokia 6600 models only, which has a different o/s than N-Gage, etc models.)
