I usually get beat to the real bugs. The rest are just "oddities";
for instance I hated the old DHCP startup scripts and rolled my own.
I can't think of other examples off the top of my head but I know I've
hacked a lot of init scripts.
Your advice to file bugs is good, and I'm often guilty of ignoring it.
mea culpa.

jobs with it. You'd throw it in the bushes or something. But
the government will spend it, thereby creating jobs.
