1.0.9 update messes with theme options (bug)

Just updated the Xin Magazine parent theme to 1.0.9 and I discovered it messed up the theme options of my child theme.

I had my homepage set to show 3 posts and after the update it was set to 10.

Obviously quick to change, but I think what this means is that on an update these settings of a child theme don’t get honoured.

As far as I can see it’s only the number of posts that is affected, so that should narrow it down.
