There's a bug is an objective statement, I agree. Write some tests and |
| 15 |
figure it out for yourself is simply malice (yes, I realise it was you |
| 16 |
who provided the failing ebuild, and that is appreciated). |

And why do you have to be plain insulting about it? Nobody can |
| 19 |
magically spot every single bug in any piece of code presented to |
| 20 |
them. In fact it's why the "given enough eyes ..." adage is one of the |
| 21 |
bases of open source development. |

I _honestly_ do not understand why there is so much trouble in simple |
| 24 |
cooperation amongst adults. |
