I would never expect you or anyone to drop everything to work immediately
on MY problems. I know the time demands you and everyone else (including
me) is under. But I DO hope this report will be added to some list of
"reported but not confirmed in-house" bugs, and that it will be in some
queue to be looked at at some future time. Right now, for example, going
to the Knowledge Base and searching for DmQuickSort will find nothing, so
someone might spend countless hours re-discovering the same problem. That
would NOT be a good thing. One of the worst things that can happen to a
developer is to spend hours finding something and then to find someone
who says, "Oh, yeah, we know about that."
I should note that although this bug is evidently not known or confirmed
in-house, one developer did confirm to me in a private email that he too
has seen this problem, and had to rewrite the DmQuickSort code to work
around it, so it definitely is confirmed out-house.
