If xforms bugs get too serious then I have some source code which means I 
could affect a fix. Distribution is a major problem---since source is not 
normally
avialable patches are no good and I probably should not pass the source around 
in random directions. I would says lack of a source distribution is a serious 
problem in itself--think trojans, etc.

There are other cute bugs I have experienced too, like one that is apparently 
tickled if you bring up the math panel, open some sub panel and then close the 
math panel. Closing the sub-panel tickles the bug. I do not rememvber the 
exact manifestation of the bug, it was either a message saying xforms is 
unhappy, a crash or both.

Maybe we should try to persaude the authors to provide a source distribution 
on the basis we will provide fixes as required.
