 I hope you realize that you left a number of details out of this bug report.
 
 See that
 	How-to-repeat:
 section?
 
 Did you think that section was just in there for fun?
 
 See, my theory is that you have mis-configured things.  I don't see
 anything to the contrary in here!  And since this report doesn't
 contain enough information to positively prove that this is a bug, I
 bet you this isn't going to be the first bug we'll be looking into.
 
 See, the high-quality reports get looked at first.
