In this case, however, it made more sense to CC you - you know that code
better than me, you have the bunch of experience while I have to read
a ton of stuff before I get up to speed with the problem. You, on the
other hand, have seen similar errors like that before and can at least
have a hunch - and you did. Besides, it's not like I'm waiting for you
- I have other things on my plate which I could tackle while you handle
the case you're more knowledgeable at. It is simple as that.

But I'll start CCing linux-ide if that's your preference.
