Yes please. The most bang for the buck we would get if this is done on =20
-current/i386. Any linuxulator related problem with a real world =20
application gets typically more priority than a problem encountered =20
with the linux test project testcases we use.

A first report should include the OS version (and the day of the =20
source update),  the failing application, kernel messages and a simple =20
way of reproducing it (in case the application is freely available).

Bye,
Alexander.
