        Sadly you'd need to compile. However - rest assured I tested the crash,
isolated the code, did the fix, tested it - then found that Caolan had
already fixed it in the same way ;-) so I think we're good.

        Good point; added that there :-)

        Nah - that is where bugs should be filed; for now - we are mostly
interested in LibreOffice specific bugs though.

        Riight - what would really help is getting some web-enabled person to
create a portal page that would ask people the various bits of
information we need, and then submit the correct fields to the bugzilla
- is that something you could look at.

        Not at all ! :-) much appreciated. The best person to get involved with
is Andre - who is leading the QA effort - but needs lots of help of
course.

        Thanks,

                Michael.
