I would suggest that you write a simple bug report and a simple patch and send
both to savannah. The patch should contain the bug number. After submitting the
patch you get a patch number. Then you comment the bug with the patch number.
This way
* it is clear that there was a bug
* it is clear that it is fixed.
* if the patch causes problems, it is easy to detect this and unapply it. (each
release should contain notes which patches have been applied)
I'm ready to be convinced otherwise,
Martin
