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).
