Just so it's clear: I don't care to get involved in fixing issues where
the bug report is "something is horribly wrong with it", either, so if
you do actually want to work on fixing it, then I'll need more to go on
than I have been given and I'll need some hint of cooperation rather
than attitude. But, of course, that's a good lesson for life anyway.

That would be the "prev" version not the test version.
