Perhaps rather than telling us off for giving you good bug hunting
advice, you could just follow it, and when you encounter a problem,
always check to see if it occurs in the latest version before reporting
it.

Wading through bugs that no longer exist wastes a lot of time; a lot
more time than you just checking to see if the latest version suffers.
