The persons in charge @Oracle always make me feel like reporting issues is an unpleasant disturbance. Consequently, they tend to brush them off in an unkindly way. I wouldn't even blame the teams behind those projects, but obviously, the Oracle Management seems to put pressure everywhere, rather than establishing a successful company culture, where people feel good and like, what they do. Needless to say, that this doesn't work well in open source projects, cough, OpenOffice, cough. If somebody has a pointer, I'm willing to follow upstream development, but will refrain from interacting with it if possible. If you guys refrain from accepting Larry's patch as a temporary measurement to deal with this nuisance, which is understandable from some certain POV, my best option seems to be rolling Larry's patch into a custom kernel build.
