I didn't trace this to the level of what line of code contained the bug,
merely to the shared object that was responsible. Before I did that I didn't
know which package and therefore didn't know where to look.
It would be nice if there was an option to list all bugs filed in the last 24
hours. Then if things worked after yesterday's unstable upgrade but failed
today you can do a search that is likely to match the appropriate bug report.
