Consider yourself fortunate that you got some feedback indicating you had an invalid format -- even though the reason for the invalidity is absurd. What is perhaps worse is the case where the smoke server *appears* to accept the report but never displays it and never tells you when it doesn't display it. This can happen for reasons as stupid as having a C compiler listed as 'gcc-4.0' rather than 'gcc'. See RT 49276 for other issues with the smoke process. I have been told that someday Smolder will be the solution to our problems, but I suspect we will never get there until someone who is skilled in setting up web sites and CGI processes can set up a site where we can experiment with other smoke setups. (We can't do that with the current site because it's too big a drain on the volunteer time of the sysadmins.) </rant> kid51
