These happen all the time; the best method is to close them and refer them to -user, and suggest that they work with -user to identify their bug, and file a good one. If it continues to be a problem, and they are unwilling or unable to fix their bugs, contact [email protected] with examples. Finally, I strongly suggest adding a bug script for you package to report additional information that will help you triage out badly filed bugs. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Nothing is as inevitable as a mistake whose time has come. -- Tussman's Law -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
