That is the point of contension, WE (here) are not necessarily
kept "in the loop" by H&P, but they are monitoring this list.
(or were.....)
I think they may have already found the bug, but it would be nice
if they told us if they have.
I believe it will be fixed with BB2, but a little feedback would
go a long way...
At the moment because we are unaware what has been & what
has not been fixed, we should try and give rock solid debug info
about problems that can be consistently reproducable,
in that event, an email to H&P would probably be approprate.
If they already know about the problem & don't need us to continue
to assist them, I think they should say so....
