First, thanks for all the work you have done. However, I do not think 
you shouldn't take anyone's bug report too seriously. People who use 
the CVS version should expect unstable behavior, and any bug reports 
they submit are just to be helpful to us so that we can find and fix 
problems more quickly.

We have bug reports going back many months, and I know I have very 
little time to spend on them, so I don't expect anyone else to work 
more then they can afford on any problem.
