"I can see that being a minor problem. I would have thought it would be
fairly simple to produce a minimal, modified version of most problem
reports that could be released without jeopardising the
confidentiality of the customer's code. I, for example, tend to cut my
problem reports down to the bare minimum of code which causes a
problem."

Not even vaguely true, many of the regression suite tests that we have
are large and complex, and the problem goes away if any attempt is made
to cut the example down. Besides which, the value of the suite is greatly
enhanced by having large complex real-world programs, rather than
simplified ACVC-stlye tests.
