You explained things very clearly, it is just that I was somehow tired
and those things are complex to explain (and figure out) by nature.

Well, it's always a tradeoff between the time the one reporting the
bug can spend producing a sensible report and the time the bug fixer
can spend understanding and fixing it.
And each side tends to underestimate the time it takes to the other
side... the only big asymmetry here is that there are more reporters
than fixers :)

Thanks for this...

... I'll remember it for next times -- but in this case, the lack of
understanding was because of me.
