There's a bug is an objective statement, I agree. Write some tests and figure it out for yourself is simply malice (yes, I realise it was you who provided the failing ebuild, and that is appreciated). And why do you have to be plain insulting about it? Nobody can magically spot every single bug in any piece of code presented to them. In fact it's why the "given enough eyes ..." adage is one of the bases of open source development. I _honestly_ do not understand why there is so much trouble in simple cooperation amongst adults.
