I hear you, but as I've said (quite) a number of times I am absolutely
not available for a few days. I have a 50-pages report due this week,
and as of yet I have only written like 10% of it. The LilyPond project
relies on volunteers, and as such it is affected by the amount of time
available for each one of us. When we're lucky enough, people are not
busy or missing at the same time; sometimes (as it seems to be the
case here) everyone is unavailable at the same time. I can't say I'm
comfortable with this, and I certainly can't say I personally have
always had a good reason for dropping the ball.

And, yes, I know, answering this mere mail has already taken me more
time than handling said bug report. However, as I also have a backlog
to deal with, keeping track of newer reports is not so easy as it
seems.

I should be back on track by this week-end. Thanks for caring about
the Bug Squad; I'll personally do everything I can to take this burden
from you in a few days; right now is just definitely not the time for
that (I've even had to tell John he couldn't stay at my place tonight
since I'll hardly get any sleep in order to finish my report).

Cheers,
Valentin
