Looks like I need to sign-up for Bugzilla so I can be a more useful and maybe contribute with reports etc, and once I have my feet more firmly planted maybe I can help with QA, sorting reports and checking the AppDB for info etc as I saw described in a document I found somewhere around here. It didn't occur to me that using a native dll illustrates something that devs are interested in fixing in the builtin libs, I feel/felt kind of like I'm whining about awesome free software.
