That's not demanding, that's quite relaxed. I had a good workaround, and didn't really care any more at that point. Just though it was rather odd that none of the developers seemed interested in tracking it down. I offered tons of help, gave it, and said I didn't have time for a full bisect at that juncture.
For that, I get repeatedly slammed by the netdev folks. Even after I put aside *paid* work to submit to your demands.
Next time around, I won't bother reporting bugs to you folks, that's for damned sure.
