Who is 'us'? It might bother some of 'us', but the people that it bothers the most are the people who have experienced the bug. They are also the most qualified/motivated to find out what the problem is and potentially find a fix. One of those people that fits the description of 'us' would be *you*, wouldn't it, given that you have a need, a desire to see it fixed, and all the resources necessary. You've got SSH2 and CVS installed on your box, and are using them (attempting to anyway).
