Noting a problem on the list and taking the temperature of the replies 
is a useful tool.  If five or six people had similar experiences one 
could draw something very different from my situation.  Sticking it in 
Bugzilla is a different level of visibility.  However, despite I 
couldn't convince myself or anyone else it was an OS problem in the end, 
I and my two busted HDDs assure you the report is 'credible' and not 
caused by some hallucination.

I think Hex Star will find an interesting feature of support lists or 
forums... they're full of problems.  That's true for every OS.  Some of 
the problems are real and effect everyone, some affect just a few users 
in special circumstances and always some problems affect just the 
reporter :-)
