 Huh?  It's you who should actually charge them for doing bug discovery 
for them.

 I don't know how that actually relates to version 6 you've mentioned, but 
you should just obtain a bugfix release.

 Well, with the major version number of 6, you'd expect the product be 
already past its infancy, wouldn't you?  Now I've heard some horror 
stories about C compilers crashing or producing bad code in early nineties 
(leading to many people avoiding any optimisation settings at all), but 
I've thought these times are over.

 Anyway, with that level of vendor (non-)support, you should really 
consider switching to GCC, no matter how much hassle with libraries it 
involves.  It's just an effort to be done once and *will* pay back.
