Michal, it's your wording of your report, and also some of the contents that 
caused Eric's reaction. When you conclude with "Am I doing something wrong?", 
then your message is *not* a bug report, but a question for help (namely, you 
are asking somebody to find out whether you did something wrong).

Please structure bug reports as follows:
1. this is what I did
2. this is what happened
3. this is what I expected to happen instead

Your report gives hints at 1, but neither discusses 2 or 3. I.e. you say what 
code you write, but you did not say (AFAICT) what parameters you passed to the 
function. And you did not say what happened when you passed the parameters.

This is important information, as the first step of us is to reproduce the bug 
report, i.e. try out all your steps and see whether the same happens also when 
we do it (which often enough is not the case).

Since this bug report is already filled with unrelated meta-discussion, please 
submit a new bug report in the style I explain above.
