I didn't investigate further but... Maybe not good enough bug reports? Usually, reports that properly pin-point issues (containing reduced test cases, procedure to reproduce, etc.) *are* fixed, not because they represent bugs which are easier to fix (as they probably aren't!) but because a good report requires relevant effort which is often taken as an additional motivation for fixing the issue. At least, this makes sense to me... :-) > No, I will not be filing any bug reports with that > fancy new tool. What really needs fixing is well > beyond what any bug reporting tool can help with. Did you intentionally left the <sneer></sneer> tags out? ;-) Again (as Irene has already stated), the bug tracking tool is not a requirement, it's a complement. I invite you to improve your reports into the mailing list and leave the development team move them into the bug tracker whenever found appropriate (something which has already happen several times). > Thank you, > Eddie Maddox Regards, Helder Magalhães [1] http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
