It's been four days since Yakui last offered a patch, of which two were
the weekend.

Actually, I know of very, very few other operating system vendors who
will take a bug report from the general public (particularly if that
person has paid $0 for it), and have a suggested fix prepared within a
couple of days.

Of course, if you have experience of OS X or Windows teams having fixed
a bug you've reported quicker than that, please let me know. Else, just
sit tight and wait.

If all bugs could be magically solved by looking at a single logfile,
then half of us would be out of a job.
