Bear in mind that if you send a message only to this mailing list, that's not a bug report. That's a discussion, which may be worth having, but not one you can reasonably expect to result in a fix for a bug. A bug report should be sent to the bug tracker for the software against which you're reporting a bug. Only at that point does it become something on which you can comment about attitude toward bug reports, because before that point the bug report doesn't exist in a useful form. > For a while, I tried submitting long, detailed bug reports showing > where in the C code a problem lies, and pointing out ways to fix it.

But if no-one maintains it to your satisfaction, you do get what you pay for. If it's important to you, it should be worth an investment of *some* kind from you, to ensure it is maintained. -- \ "The Bermuda Triangle got tired of warm weather. It moved to | `\ Alaska.
