Bearing in mind that nightlies are there for developers / hackers, this is entirely reasonable. The milestones are always there for folkz who want to take the moz-lizard for a test flight. > Sometimes older profiles could also be causing issues.

Good entry into productive hacking / debugging. Not being a C programmer doens't mean not getting into the cycle.

Good grief! I'm gonna call it 7 steps, just cuz I'm feeling grouchy. _That_ is not so simple; _that_ is a royal pain. The fact that so many folkz are diligent about this sorta thing (bad in the beginning, bad in the end ... ya can't be debugging if you don't know what you started with) doesn't change the fact that it's a royal pain. For all those good people who are looking at this as the only thing to do (which it is, if you wanna walk a deterministic path), I think it should be acknowledged as such. > basic hfx_ben
