Remember - it's the rare programmer indeed who has less bugs in their own code than bugs in well-tested subroutine libraries. You're just as likely to hit Pango bugs as X11 bugs, glibc bugs, kernel bugs, device driver bugs, and microcode bugs in the video card, BIOS bugs, and errata in the systems north/south/AGP bridges. In fact, in the last year, I've tripped over one or more of *each* of those categories of bugs - except Pango. ;)
