I could not put my finger on it, but you are right, what often stops you from sending bug reports is that you don't want to be taken for a fool :-).

errh errh in my case (I can't use effects in grecord, it core-dumps) I don't
want people to say "hey your machine is a mess" "oh oh you don't know how to
install this ot that!". I'm kidding a little, but not too much.
I believe the new filetree-standard under linux will help a lot: if I know my
distro is compliant, if I know the prog I try to install is compliant, then I
can say there's a bug or not. Elsewhere I'm in doubt. Shall I say I'm a bit
scared applying the low-latency patches? I've tried but got some errors
during compilation. So I gave up.
