soapUI ignores start row for shared datasources

this is infact an issue with soapUI 3.6.1 PRO, but I cannot seem to post into that forum.

soapUI ignores start row for shared datasources, which is bad for CSV-files with the 1st line used as heading.
If you define a datasource and select options => shared (check), the start Row is ignored - if you turn shared setting off, it works.

Using soapUI 3.6.1 PRO on Windows 7 32bit, Java java.version=1.6.0_21 (bundled JRE).

    I have set up a web service test with a file datasource getting its input from a CSV file.
    The CSV file contains the headings in the first column to be self-explanatory.
    To ignore the heading, I have to set "start row" to "1".

    When I feed this datasource with standard settings, it works.
    However, I'm building a load test, so I want to share this datasource across threads.
    When I enable the "shared datasource" option, soapUI no longer ignores the first row, but starts at line 0, failing the test.
    This is reproducable and happens on every run.
    As soon as I disable the "shared datasource" option again, it works.
