That's a matter of opinion :-) A typo, forgetting to cover some corner case, being off by 1 in a loop etc. etc. I'd call bugs. Using the wrong algorithm is in a different class. It also means that this was never seriously tested. > The surprise is that it took well over a decade for anyone to spot it. Partly because in many cases you wouldn't notice a period delay, or even several periods. It makes nonsense of any latency compensation schemes etc. of course. And I can assure you that it's not very rewarding to chase a suspected bug in your own software for days on end because you happen to be the type of fool who *does* do some testing before releasing anything, only to discover that it's not your 'bug' at all. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
