Just let me be clear that I greatly appreciate all problem reports.
There's very little that I can actually test myself, so problem
reports from others are absolutely essential.

Often we don't get all the information we'd like, but I treat all
reports seriously. For every report we get, there may be dozens or
hundreds of people who hit the same problem but do not have the time
or expertise to report it.

I looked at it, and it had a few details, but no analysis of the
situation. Ideally, I'm looking for a précis of the situation in
the changelog, with complete analysis and supporting details in the
bugzilla.
