It took me all but 5 min after report to fix it and commit. Latest vertion 
of the trunk should've work (everything by John issue, which I can't 
reproduce). How can you expect me to make any changes? I am trying to be as 
responsive as possible.

This is at best discouraging. I might have couple days now and than I might 
be busy for another half a year. These changes seat on my hard drive for a 
year now - I did not have time to invest to be able to track all the issues.
