Hi Frank, I started this thread. I've been driving this thread since I started it. What made you think I hijacked?
I was aware of bugzilla, but it's not an email list. I had some concern that the process had changed from when I last monitored this list many months ago. Previously an error like this gets discussed, and someone, a developer or person who works more closely with the project, asks the reporter to log it to bugzilla.
