There's no shortage of people who just want to whine. One way of contributing is to report the bugs you find. Since you made the effort to isolate the bug and produce a minimal test case, I don't understand why you'd waste that effort instead of taking the last step and actually report the bug. It's generally assumed that the person who reports a bug is also the person who can answer questions about the bug report. Reporting other people's bugs is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. I once tried to be helpful and entered a bug report in GCC's Bugzilla for a bug that someone else had posted about here in comp.lang.ada. That report was closed unfixed because of misunderstandings. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD
