What is the point there? What I'm saying is theres a bug I know of, that most 
likely affect other users. However it isn't mine, and I have few bugs. Thus, I 
can't very well file a bugzilla. For some reason the guy with that bug, won't 
file a report at all since he feels he doesn't have enough information... 
which there is no way to be certain of if nobody knows about the issue.
