I hope it will be fixed quickly.  Sometimes I hate the fact that we
have to update because of security notices and then find that
arbitrary changes have been made that introduce problems that never
existed before (or have existed before and then been fixed).

I understand that where there is development there always will be
mistakes, but sometimes it looks like there is an ongoing train
of development rushing forward without checking what blows off at
the back.   Fixing bugs introduced in a new version should be done
before continuing into yet another new one.

(I know I should join the development team instead of criticize,
however while I have done a lot of C programming in the past this
project is simply too large for me.  I tried finding the location
of a bug before, but even knowing what I was looking for I could
not locate the sourcefile where the function that I was looking
for was being performed...)
