That's certainly a skill any programmer needs if he ever wants to report a compiler bug and get it fixed. Vendors, not unreasonably, tend to assign lower priority to "here's this massive program and it has a problem". Either create a small program that shows the problem or delete successive chunks of a big program until it stops showing the problem, then put back the chunk that caused the problem.
