Gentoo finally accepted my bug report. I only had to re-open it three times and cite the ISO C standard.
Is it just me, or was this way more effort than I needed to go through? At least one verifiable bug was present in my initial report (it said do X, when I had already done so). Why did I need to go through all that? Sure, it's valuable to isolate a test case, but they could have done that as easily as me.
Anyway, I am starting to develop a stereotype of people who are fanatical about performance or security. Not all, of course -- but enough that I notice it.
