Okay.  I think it needs to be fixed eventually so that the problem is 
not repeatedly reported.

Sorry.  My "complain" should be read as more of a "I am already aware of 
this problem, so it doesn't have to be mentiond" and it was really 
written for other readers, not for you.  I don't think you are 
complaining :)  It is just that if others see this in the future, I 
don't want them saying "me too" if they notice this problem.
