I am not that familar with debugging stuff so I could track that problem down. Yes, it is nice to be able to say: "Hey, you have the source, go fix it yerself." but it is a PITA to have to get familar with the source while there are others that *are* (or should?) be familar with the source already who could track that problem down in no time. If you have an idea where the problem might be I might be willing to check that particular code even while still you should be able to fix it in shorter time than me for you should be familar with it. If it would be about features that are not that valueable and promently and well documented (like in O'Reillys Pocket Reference) I wouldn't care that much. I don't know if that feature works with RedHat/SuSE or such. If it does, it leaves us with even more bad reputation... Thank you very much for your valueable input.
