You can always make it easier for a developer to solve - and the easier it is, the more likely it is to get solved quickly. Ways to do that are: * getting a stack-trace with full debugging symbols * running valgrind with full debugging symbols and attaching a trace. For bonus points poking around at the code that's failing and thinking hard about it - and (for some bugs) even a non-expert can see the silliness by reading the relevant code in the backtrace, and looking at the git history for that file ;-) So anything to get more people drawn into development and bug fixing is good :-) we have no-where near enough hackers / proctologists to match the bugs (yet).
