in thread 5.18.0 is available NOW!

I look forward to reading your patch.

I didn't offer one.

On one hand you admit you don't know what the problem is, yet on the other you assert you know what you are talking about. Both can't be right.

Of course they can. (Look back for the phrase "unfortunately necessary supposition".)

if you understand the patches

Bingo!

But that only tells us the problem that you feel needs addressing and how you've chosen to tackle it.

It doesn't tell us how you think that scenario might come about; nor what other solutions have been considered.

But enough! We've descended below what is apparently the justifiable cut-off for the depth of a discussion (>10), and all we are doing is talking at each other, so let's stop here and see what time will tell us.

    No patch no point. Until you can produce a better patch stop spreading FUD.

      No point in a patch to address an imagined problem.

      stop spreading FUD

      I think you are right about there being FUD involved, but I am not the source of it.

        Sure you are. All of your comments in this thread have been FUD, and people should know it.
