Thank you for the examples. I'll look into the problems and get back to
you on them. That wasn't so hard now, was it? 😎
BTW, the reason I ask for examples is that roughly 25%-30% of the reports
we get are programmer errors, not problems with our software. When we
request exact examples from people, the lots of people end up saying "oops,
sorry, it was my problem all along". Just saying "floats in prototyes
don't work" is so vague that the information is almost useless to us – we
could spend weeks (literally) just confirming that there is a problem, and
what exactly it is, when you've had code that produces the problem all
along. I realize that it takes time to come up with examples, but IMHO
_not_ giving examples and making wild claims is plain irresponsible and
counter-productive to getting the problems fixed.
